Tequila Highball Cocktail

Looking to spice up your next gathering? Why not serve a classic tequila highball? This timeless cocktail is easy to make, refreshing, and sure to be a hit with your guests. Here’s everything you need to know about making this classic drink.

What You Need

To make one tequila highball, you’ll need

  • 2 ounces of silver tequila,
  • 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

Start by filling a Collins glass (or any tall drinking glass) with ice cubes. Measure out 2 ounces of tequila into the glass, followed by 4 ounces of tonic water. Squeeze the lime wedge over the top of the drink before dropping it in for garnish. Your tequila highball is now ready to enjoy!

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%.                                                                                                                                             

Conclusion:

The perfect way to liven up your next gathering? Serve a delicious tequila highball! This timeless cocktail is easy to make and sure to impress your guests. All you need is some silver tequila, tonic water, lime wedges, and ice cubes—and voila! You have yourself an easy-to-make yet sophisticated beverage that will keep everyone coming back for seconds.
