  • 2-3 slices fresh ginger
  • 3-4 oz sparkling mineral water Topo Chico or similar

  • lime wedge for garnish
  • lemon wheel for garnish

Instructions

  • Add tequila, lemon juice, lime juice, simple syrup, and ginger slices to a shaker with ice.

Notes

For extra ginger kick, muddle the ginger before shaking. Add more lemon or lime for a tarter flavor, or swap in orange liqueur for extra smoothness. Topo Chico delivers the best bubbles and minerality. Serve ice-cold!
