Stir all ingredients together and served over crushed ice in a glass.
Jerk vinegar
Preheat oven to 250 F.
Place all ingredients, minus the Thai chili and apple cider vinegar, and toast for roughly 1 minute. Once toasted, add apple cider vinegar and turn heat down to 150 F.
Stir to incorporate and immediately turn off heat and let cool. Once cool, strain back into apple cider vinegar bottle.
Strawberry tobacco syrup
In a medium pot over high heat, boil strawberries and water until soft. Put into a blender and blend.
Strain the mixture until you have 1 liter of strawberry-puree like water.
Add in tobacco and let sit for one hour. Strain out tobacco and add enough sugar to create a simple syrup with 1:1 ratio. Simmer until sugar is dissolved. Let cool and enjoy.
