To Make the Salt: Mix the salt, sugar, and paprika on a small plate. When ready to use, rim a glass with a lime wedge and invert the glass into the salt mixture. Jalapeno Simple Syrup: Bring equal part sugar and water to a boil (1/4 c each) and simmer until sugar is dissolved. Drop 2-3 jalapeño slices in as the simple simmers.
