Ingredients

  • 1 oz fresh orange juice
  • 0.75 oz fresh grapefruit juice
  • 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 0.5 oz honey syrup
  • 3 oz soda water
  • Pinch of salt
  • Citrus wheel, to garnish

Method

  1. 1Add the three juices, honey syrup and salt to a shaker with ice.
  2. 2Shake for 10 seconds.
  3. 3Strain over fresh ice in a highball glass.
  4. 4Top with soda and garnish with a wheel of whichever citrus you have.

Notes

  • Three citrus fruits taste considerably more complex than one — this is the cheapest way to make a drink taste built.
  • Honey syrup (2 parts honey to 1 part hot water) dissolves properly where raw honey clumps.
  • Add a dash of non-alcoholic bitters for depth.
