Tequila Collins Cocktail Recipe
Enjoy the freshness of Tequila Collins: a refreshing and easy-to-make cocktail. Mix tequila, fresh lemon juice, and sugar in a shaker with ice. Top with soda, stir, and garnish with a lemon slice. Try variations with aged tequila or agave syrup.
Instructions
- Start by taking a shaker and filling it with ice cubes.
- Pour in the tequila, fresh lemon juice, and sugar.
- Close the shaker and shake vigorously for a few seconds, until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is chilled.
- Take a large tumbler and fill it halfway with the mixture from the shaker.
- Top it off with soda to fill the glass, creating a perfect balance between the bold flavors of tequila and the freshness of the soda.
- Gently stir with a long spoon or stirrer.
- Garnish with a slice of lemon on the rim of the glass or inside the drink for a decorative and aromatic touch.
Notes
To add a unique twist to your Tequila Collins, try using an aged tequila (añejo) to give the cocktail a woody and complex note. Additionally, you can substitute the sugar with agave syrup to stay in the Mexican theme and impart a more natural sweetness to the cocktail.
