Top off with club soda. Chef’s Quote:* Calamansi is a Southeast Asian citrus similar to a small, very tart lime. These are available fresh in large Asian markets in the U.S. If unavailable, a suitable substitute would be to combine 2/3 fresh lime juice with 1/3 fresh tangerine juice and a few drops of lemon.
