Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Use a high-quality tequila blanco or reposado for the best flavor profile.
- Chill Your Glass: A cold glass helps maintain the drink's temperature and enhances the overall drinking experience.
- Use Fresh Ice: Clear, fresh ice cubes prevent dilution and keep your cocktail crisp and clean-tasting.
- Squeeze Lime Carefully: Gently squeeze the lime to release oils without making the drink too bitter.
- Experiment with Garnishes: Try adding a slice of jalapeño or a sprig of mint for an extra flavor dimension.
- Serve Immediately: This cocktail is best enjoyed right after preparation to maintain its fizz and temperature.
- Adjust Ratios: Feel free to modify the tequila-to-ginger ale ratio to suit your personal taste preferences.
