Notes

Storage and Tips:
  • Prep drink components in advance: squeeze and juice the limes and make the simple syrup ahead of time. Slice the jalapeños, is using. Store each component separately in airtight containers in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Easily scale the ingredients for this drink if you'd like to make a big batch. We suggest shaking a drink or two to order at a time for the best flavor and temperature, so they aren't diluted and stay ice cold.
