Tequila And Sprite
This tequila and sprite tastes very similar to a margarita with a crisp tequila bite and tart citrus flavors. With just two ingredients, you can mix this up in just a few minutes.
Equipment
- highball glass
- bar spoon
- shaker (optional)
- jigger
- Knife (optional for garnish)
Ingredients
- 2 oz Tequila gold or silver
- 4 oz Sprite
- 1 Lemon wedge optional garnish
- Ice
Instructions
- Fill highball glass to the top with ice.
- Measure 2 oz of tequila with the jigger.
- Add 2 oz of tequila into the glass with the ice.
- Measure 4 oz of Sprite with the jigger.
- Add the 4 oz of Sprite into the glass with the tequila and ice.Note: you can skip measuring Sprite if you want and just pour it into the glass to top it off. It will be around 4 oz, sometimes a little more.
- Stir gently with bar spoon. Or gently toss from glass to shaker, back to glass to mix it.
- If adding a garnish: cut lemon into slices. Take one wedge and cut a small notch in the pulp. Place the wedge on the glass rim with the notch.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Tips & Variations
- Make a large batch - you can easily scale this recipe up to make a big batch. Just multiply the ingredients by 2, 3 or more.
- Don't shake - instead of shaking this in a shaker to mix it make sure to use a bar spoon and stir it so the Sprite doesn't fizz everywhere. Alternatively, you can gently toss it from shaker to glass to mix it.
- Don't make ahead - if you try making this ahead, the Sprite is likely to go flat. So, just mix this up whenever you are ready to get to drinking.
- Use a different sprite or tequila - try flavored sprite like cherry sprite or a gold tequila.
- New garnish - use a lime garnish. Or make wheels or twists instead of wedges.
