Mexican 75
The Mexican 75 is a vibrant twist on the classic French 75, incorporating the bright flavors of tequila and fresh lime juice. This refreshing cocktail is perfect for warm evenings and festive occasions.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Fine mesh strainer
- Champagne flute or coupe glass
- Jigger
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz Tequila (preferably Blanco)
- 0.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice
- 0.5 oz Agave Syrup
- 3 oz Sparkling Wine (such as Prosecco or Champagne)
- Lime wheel or twist for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by chilling a champagne flute or coupe glass by filling it with ice water. Set aside while you prepare the cocktail.
- In a shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, and agave syrup. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
- Discard the ice water from your chilled glass. Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the mixture into the glass.
- Carefully top the strained mixture with the sparkling wine, pouring slowly to avoid overflow.
- Add a lime wheel or twist on the rim of the glass for an elegant touch.
Notes
For a sweeter cocktail, adjust the amount of agave syrup to taste. This drink can also be made with flavored tequila for an additional twist.
