Method
Cocktail
- 1
Chill glass
Place a rocks or highball glass in the freezer for 5 minutes or fill briefly with ice water to chill while you prepare ingredients.
- 2
Add zero-proof tequila, spicy mango Q mixer, fresh lime juice, and guajillo syrup to a cocktail shaker or large mixing glass.
- 3
Fill the shaker or mixing glass with ice (enough to nearly fill). Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds to chill and slightly dilute the mix.

- 5
Strain the shaken mixture over the fresh ice in the prepared glass.
- 6
Top gently with chilled Mexican cola (about 2 oz). Stir once gently with a bar spoon to combine — avoid over-stirring to preserve carbonation.
Garnish & Finish
- 7
Float or rest a lime wheel on the drink and slide a mango slice onto the rim if using.
- 8
Sprinkle a very light pinch (about 1/4 tsp) of dried guajillo chile flake over the top of the lime or drink for aroma and a subtle smoky heat. If using smoked paprika, use the same small pinch.
- 9
Serve immediately with a short straw. Recommend tasting and adjusting: add an extra 1/4 oz guajillo syrup for more sweetness/heat or 1/4 oz lime for brighter acidity.
