Years back I added Jalapeno to a Hard Limeade. Then used the same bucket for a PA. The jalapeno came through in the PA and was the best I've made. Did you add the white flesh and seeds? That'll do it heat wise.
I had your jalapeño/mango hard lemonade a year ago or so and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Great jalapeño flavor but no heat.
OT:

Oh yeah. The big ones are up to 2in long. They come in when it's too hot or dry. It was worse living on Maui (1978-1980). Had to battle them flying around in the bathroom! 😂

OT... Vanilla coffee
We had them when I was stationed in Key West in the 80s. Pretty sure they’re called Palmetto bugs. We had scorpions there, too. First time I ever saw a real one.
 
Lazy rainy day, pulled a couple gourds from the patch, some evergrain to relax with. My wife likes to decorate with these things, last year just threw some in the yard and put a fence around it, this year we got a few. Now I want to grow a giant pumpkin just to say I did, we'll see what happens next year.

HB Butter Beer mead. This is by far the most interesting brew I’ve ever done. It’s buttery and caramelly (don’t think that’s a word) but still floral and slightly tart like a traditional mead. It’s supposed to be served at ~4 volumes of CO2 and my draft system is certainly not tuned for that.

Took out the veins and seeds. Glad I did!
 
Wanted an Oktoberfest but floated the keg :( Settled for the Wet Hop IPA. Really getting good after a little time to settle in the keg. Also have a bag of fresh Chinook hops floating in the keg, so that is a plus. Fun to brew with the first years hop harvest.

A guys camping trip this weekend. Lots of beer, food, laughs & a big fire going all day and night.
I brought my HB “Half A$$ed Pilsner”, Kölsch & Hard Lemonade (thanks @ThirstyPawsHB for the recipe). They were all a hit with the group who mainly drinks macro beers. Not one growler came home with any beer left in it.
