Batanga

Ingredients

  • 60 ml Tequila blanco
  • 15 ml Lime juice

Preparation

  1. Rim the highball with salt. Don't know how? Moisten the rim with a citrus wedge, then dip it in a plate of salt.
  2. Build in a highball over ice.
  3. Add tequila and lime.
  4. Top with cola.
  5. Garnish with lime wedge. A wedge is a thick, lengthwise slice — usually a quarter or eighth of the fruit.
