Notes
- Use high-quality ingredients. Opt for tequila made from pure agave, rum made from pure sugar cane, and fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. For a flavor twist, you can swap the cola for ginger ale!
- Use filtered water to make your ice. Tap water is convenient, but the lingering taste of additives like chlorine can muddy the flavor.
- Sip responsibly. It’s admittedly quite easy to slurp one of these boozy cocktails down, but remember — this isn’t your average iced tea. Make sure to pace yourself and stay well-hydrated!
- For an extra hit of sweetness, consider adding a splash of simple syrup or sour mix. I personally don’t think it needs it, but palates are personal! You can also use a little maple syrup.
