1
Prepare the Jalapeno
Slice the fresh jalapenos in half lengthwise, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat.
2
Make the Syrup
In a saucepan, combine the sliced jalapenos, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
3
Add Citrus Juices
Once boiling, reduce heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the lime and lemon juices. Let the syrup cool completely.
4
Strain the Syrup
Once cooled, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bottle, discarding the jalapenos.

5
Prepare the Glass
Fill a glass with ice cubes.
6
Mix the Drink
Pour 2 ounces of the citrus jalapeno syrup over the ice. Squeeze the juice of half a lime into the glass and top with Topo Chico.
7
Garnish
Garnish with pickled onions and sliced Fresno chile peppers for an extra kick.
8
Serve
Stir gently to mix the ingredients and serve immediately.
