The Tequila Slammer is a fun and energetic cocktail that combines tequila with a fizzy mixer, creating a lively drink that's perfect for parties. The drink is known for its explosive presentation and is often consumed quickly for maximum effect.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Highball glass
- Jigger or measuring tool
Ingredients
- 2 oz Tequila (preferably blanco)
- 4 oz Lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite or 7-Up)
- 1 oz Club soda (optional for extra fizz)
- Ice (optional)
Instructions
- Chill a highball glass by placing it in the freezer for a few minutes if desired.
- In a shaker, combine the tequila and lemon-lime soda. If you prefer extra fizz, add the club soda.
- If you like your drink cold, fill the shaker with ice and shake gently to mix the ingredients.
- Strain the mixture into the chilled highball glass. If you added ice, you can pour it directly over the ice in the glass.
- To serve, place your palm over the top of the glass, slam it down on the bar or table, and then drink it quickly while it's still fizzy.
