The spicy grapefruit base can be made up to 6 hours ahead. Add seltzer just before serving.

Directions

  1. Muddle lime juice, sugar, and jalapeno slices, pressing on chiles and stirring until sugar dissolves. Stir in grapefruit juice. Pour halfway up ice-filled glasses; top with seltzer. Garnish with grapefruit slices.

  2. To spike it: Add 1 ounce tequila or mezcal per serving, before the seltzer.
