Ingredients

  • 3/4 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 1/4 oz freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1/2 small jalapeño, deseeded and thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • 1 oz warm water
  • 2 oz club soda
  • Ice

Instructions

  1. Juice limes and oranges into a large pitcher. Discard lime rinds and half of the orange rinds.
  2. Cut the remaining orange rinds into quarters and place in a large saucepan.
  3. Coarsely chop the jalapeño and add to the saucepan with the orange rinds, along with sugar and salt. Muddle the mixture until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
  4. Stir in warm water and let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
  5. Strain the orange mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the pitcher with juice, gently pressing to extract as much liquid as possible; discard solids.
  6. Thinly slice the remaining orange and add it to the pitcher. Remove seeds from the remaining jalapeño and thinly slice into rounds before adding to the pitcher.
  7. To serve, pour the juice mixture into an ice-filled glass and top off with club soda. Stir to combine.
