Instructions

  1. Fill a highball or other tall glass with ice. Add tequila, Coca-Cola, and lime juice. Garnish with a lime wedge.

Notes

  • Tequila: Tequila blanco is lighter in body and perfect for making cocktails like this one. Tequila reposado (which means “rested” and is aged in oak for at least 2 months) is ideal for sipping.
  • Coca-Cola: For extra authenticity, seek out Mexican Coca-Cola which is sold in glass bottles and made with real sugar.
  • Yield: This recipe makes 1 Charro Negro cocktail.
  • Glassware: The Charro Negro is traditionally made in a highball glass, an 8-ounce to 12-ounce glass tumbler such as a Collins glass (a regular pint glass will do, too).
