Cocktail

2 oz Tequila (Sauza Blanco or other blanco)1/2 oz Fresh lime juice4 oz Topo Chico (or other unflavored sparkling mineral water)1 cup Ice cubes1 piece Lime wedge or wheel (garnish)1 tsp Coarse salt (optional, for rim)

Method

Cocktail

Prepare glass (optional salted rim)

If you prefer a salted rim, run a lime wedge around the outer rim of a highball or Collins glass, then dip the rim into a small plate of coarse salt to coat. Fill the glass with ice cubes and set aside.

Add tequila and lime

Pour 2 oz blanco tequila into the prepared glass over the ice. Squeeze about 0.5 oz (half a fresh lime, roughly) of fresh lime juice into the glass. If you like a more pronounced lime flavor, add up to 0.75 oz.

Top with Topo Chico

Gently top the tequila and lime with approximately 4 oz (about half a 8 oz bottle or to taste) of chilled Topo Chico sparkling mineral water. Pour slowly to preserve carbonation.

Stir gently

Using a long bar spoon or stirrer, stir gently one to two times to combine the lime and tequila with the mineral water without flattening the bubbles.

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a lime wedge or wheel on the rim. Serve immediately while chilled and effervescent.
