Description
A refreshing, spicy, and tart non-alcoholic beverage.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup simple syrup
- 1/2 small jalapeno, thinly sliced (seeds removed for less heat)
- 1 cup cold sparkling water
- Ice cubes
- Lime wheels for garnish
Instructions
- Place the sliced jalapeno in a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker.
- Add the lime juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup to the glass or shaker.
- Muddle the jalapeno gently to release its oils and heat. Do not over-muddle.
- If using a shaker, add ice, seal, and shake well for about 15 seconds. If using a glass, stir well.
- Strain the mixture into a tall glass filled with fresh ice cubes.
- Top with cold sparkling water.
- Stir lightly to combine.
- Garnish each glass with a lime wheel.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of jalapeno based on your preferred spice level. Start with a few thin slices.
- If you do not have simple syrup, mix equal parts sugar and hot water until the sugar dissolves, then cool completely before use.
