Cocktail

Garnish & rim

Method

Prep the glass

1

Rim the glass

Rub the lime wedge around the outer rim of a highball or Collins glass. Pour Tajin onto a small plate, then dip the rim into the Tajin to coat lightly. Set the glass aside.

Mix the cocktail

2

Fill a cocktail shaker with a handful of ice (about 4–6 large cubes). Add 2 oz Lalo Blanco tequila, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz Gran Gala, and 0.25 oz agave syrup to the shaker.

3

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the outside of the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted. This chills and dilutes the mixture properly.

4

Fill the prepared Tajin-rimmed glass with fresh ice (large cubes or crushed, about 1 cup). Strain the shaken tequila mixture into the glass over the ice.

5

Top the drink with 4 oz chilled Topo Chico. Gently stir once or twice with a bar spoon to integrate the sparkling water without flattening it.

Finish & serve

6

Garnish with the used lime wedge on the rim or a thin wheel of lime. Optionally, sprinkle a light pinch of Tajin over the top for an extra hit of spice and citrus aroma.

7

Serve immediately with a straw if desired. Enjoy responsibly.
