Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz (60 ml) blanco tequila (100% agave)
- 1 oz (30 ml) fresh lime juice
- 4–6 oz (120–180 ml) sparkling mineral water
- Ice cubes
- Salt (optional, for rimming the glass)
- Lime wedge or wheel (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare your glass: If desired, run a lime wedge around the rim and dip it into coarse salt. Set aside.
- Fill the glass with plenty of ice cubes to chill it thoroughly.
- Pour 2 ounces (60 ml) of blanco tequila over the ice.
- Add 1 ounce (30 ml) of fresh lime juice directly into the glass.
- Top with 4 to 6 ounces (120-180 ml) of sparkling mineral water. Gently swirl to combine without losing fizz.
- Garnish with a lime wedge or wheel on the rim and serve immediately.
Notes
Use fresh lime juice and quality 100% agave blanco tequila for best flavor. Keep sparkling water ice-cold and do not over-stir to maintain fizz. Salt rim is optional but recommended for added flavor contrast. Adjust lime and tequila ratios to taste. Do not shake the cocktail to preserve bubbles.
