When in doubt, add soda. The resulting highball (about 2 ounces of any booze filled to the top with soda) is refreshing—and impossible to mess up.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon elderflower cordial or syrup
- 1 1/2 ounces añejo tequila
- 1 lemon
- Club soda (for serving)
Instructions
- Stir 1 teaspoon elderflower cordial or syrup, 1 1/2 ounces añejo tequila, and two 3x1" strips lemon zest, thinly sliced lengthwise, in an ice-filled highball glass until very cold, about 30 seconds. Top off with club soda.
- Using a small serrated knife, remove a 1" strip of peel from a lemon (some white pith is okay); it should be stiff enough to provide some resistance when bent. Twist over drink to express oils; discard.
