Batanga

Description

Blanco tequila keeps its peppery agave note through the cola, and fresh lime gives the Batanga a much sharper edge than the mixer suggests. A pinch of salt rounds the cola’s sweetness. Think of it as the agave counterpart to a Cuba Libre, with a savoury flick at the end.

Ingredients

50 ml Blanco tequila
120 ml Cola
15 ml lime juice
Small pinch of salt
Ice
Lemon twist

Equipment needed

Instructions
