It is not customary to dilute tequila (with the exception of cocktails), as it loses its taste. But this does not stop lovers of low-alcohol drinks. To lower the degree, they experiment with the addition of juices and carbonated drinks. We will consider the most successful combinations.
1. Juices. Tequila is diluted with tomato, orange, lemon and apple juice. Silver (clear) tequila is best mixed with freshly squeezed orange or lemon juice, gold – with tomato or apple. The optimal proportions are 1:2 or 1:3 (one part of tequila to 2-3 parts of the selected juice).
In Mexico, a spicy non-alcoholic Sangrita cocktail is made from tomatoes, oranges and spices. It can be combined with tequila in two ways. The first is to first drink a shot of tequila, then a shot of sangrita and snack on a lime wedge. The second is to mix 200 ml of Sangrita and 100 grams of tequila in one glass, drink in one gulp.
2. Sweet soda. A quick intoxicating way, I don’t advise you to get carried away with it. Silver tequila can be washed down with Sprite or Schweppes tonic, gold tequila with Coca Cola or Pepsi, in the second case you get a Tequila Batanga cocktail.
Composition:
- cola – 150 ml;
- golden tequila – 50 ml;
- lime – 1 half;
- ice cubes – 200 grams.
Recipe: fill a glass with ice, add tequila and cola, squeeze the juice of half a lime, mix.
3. Beer. In Russia, tequila with beer is called “Mexican Ruff”, and in America, for the ability to quickly cloud the mind, this combination is called “Fog”. To prepare, it is enough to mix 30 grams of any tequila and 300 grams of light beer in a glass. You can shake the drink well to get a rich foam. Drink in one gulp.
