Tequila boom (Tequila-Boom) – explosive alcoholic soda

This simple, refreshing quick-cooking cocktail will brighten up any youth party. His original presentation amuses those present, uplifting. Next, I will tell you how to make and drink Tequila Boom correctly, exploding any negative emotions.

Historical reference. The Indians were the first to dilute tequila. A strong hard drink burned the throat, and mixing with water softened the taste. In those days, tequila was produced differently than it is now, it was poorly refined and almost never aged in barrels, as a result of which it had a nasty rotten taste. It was a cheap lower-class liquor that could only be drunk after being mixed with water, adding other drinks such as lemonade was out of the question, they had not yet been invented.

According to legend, the modern version of “Tequila Boom” appeared in America during Prohibition (from 1920 to 1933). Once a visitor asked the bartender to prepare him some delicious tequila cocktail, but the bartender, citing a ban on the sale of alcohol, refused. This greatly upset the visitor. Then the bartender decided to cheat, he quietly added tequila to a glass of lemonade and offered the drink to the guest. He did not immediately understand the idea, displeasedly hit the bottom of the glass on the table and drank the “lemonade” in one gulp.

Tequila Boom Recipe

It is difficult to find a cocktail that is easier to prepare at home. It consists of only two ingredients.

Composition and proportions:

• silver tequila – 50 ml;
• sprite – 100 ml.

Instead of sprite, you can use any other highly carbonated lemonade. In some cases, even cola is added, but it will taste like a completely different cocktail.

Preparation: in a rock glass, mix tequila and sprite in a ratio of 1:2 (classic version). To reduce the strength, you can add more lemonade, for example, 3 or 4 parts. Because of the bubbles of carbon dioxide, tequila with lemonade quickly intoxicates.
