What You Need

To make one tequila highball, you’ll need

• 4 ounces of tonic water,
• 1 wedge of lime,
• and ice cubes.

If you plan on making more than one cocktail at a time, it may be more economical (and easier) to purchase a bottle of tequila rather than individual shots.

How To Prepare It

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also try switching up the recipe by using flavored tonics or experimenting with different types of citrus fruit for garnish. You can also add other types of liquor such as gin or vodka; just make sure that whatever alcohol you use has an ABV between 35% and 45%.
