Ingredients

  • 2 ounce tequila
  • 4 ounce Sprite
  • Lime wedges for garnish
  • Mint sprigs for garnish
  • Ice cubes

Instructions 

  • Fill a tall glass with ice and add the tequila.
  • Fill the glass with Sprite and stir using a bar spoon.
  • Garnish with lime wedges and mint, if desired

Notes

  • Use Fresh Citrus: Squeeze the juice of fresh limes or lemons to enhance the citrusy flavors in the drink. Freshly squeezed citrus juice adds a vibrant and zesty taste that elevates the cocktail.
  •  Adjust Sweetness: Depending on your preference, you can adjust the sweetness of the cocktail by adding more or less Sprite or alternative sweeteners like agave nectar. Taste the cocktail as you mix it and make any necessary adjustments to suit your desired sweetness level.
  • Rim the Glass: For an extra touch of flavor and presentation, consider rimming the glass with salt or sugar. Dip the rim of the glass in water or citrus juice, then dip it into a plate of salt or sugar to coat the rim. This adds an additional layer of taste and visual appeal.
  • Chill Ingredients: Ensure the tequila, Sprite, and any other ingredients are chilled before mixing the cocktail. Using chilled ingredients helps maintain the drink's refreshing and cool temperature.
