Equipment

  • Cocktail glass of choice
  • Citrus press

Ingredients

  • 1 & ½ ouces tequila *see note below
  • 8 ouces (1 cup) club soda *see note below
  • Fresh lime juice *to taste *see note below

Recipe notes: 

Tequila: be sure to use a quality, 100% blue agave tequila. I prefer blanco (clear/white)  and typically buy Altos Tequila Plata.
Club soda: you want to purchase club soda, not tonic water. Tonic water is much sweeter and contains added sugar. You can also make your own sparkling water if you've got a soda stream! My soda stream is one of my FAVORITE kitchen gadgets. 
Lime juice: I recommend fresh squeezed lime juice rather than bottled! Bottled can taste a little stale.

Instructions

  • Add ice to your favorite cocktail glass (you can salt your rim before adding ice, if desired).
  • Pour tequila over ice.
  • Add three quarters of your soda water, lime wedges and a spritz of lime juice. Mix well.
  • Top with remaining soda water, taste test and add more lime juice if desired. Enjoy!
