Frequently asked questions

Good to know

How spicy is this flavour?

The jalapeño is intended as a gentle, savoury warmth. Citrus remains the main impression from the first sip through the finish.

Can I drink it without a spirit?

Yes. Serve it very cold over plenty of ice and add a lime wedge if you would like a sharper citrus note.

Which spirit suits it best?

Tequila and mezcal complement the citrus and savoury pepper notes. A clean vodka also makes a simple, lighter long drink.

What gives the drink its tartness?

Blood orange and calamansi provide the primary citrus character, with lime extract adding a final fresh edge.
