Tequila Fizz

A lively fiesta in a glass, a sparkling hint of Mexican heritage and a secret, bubbly handshake between tequila and a fizzy accomplice. Welcome to the exciting world of the Tequila Fizz cocktail!

The name "fizz" in Tequila Fizz comes from the family of cocktails to which it belongs, which usually contain ingredients such as citrus fruits, sugar and soda water. The "tequila" part is self-explanatory - this cocktail is all about bringing out the distinctive flavors of the beloved Mexican agave spirit. The combination of these two elements creates a perfect marriage of fizz and alcohol.

Which tequila for the tequila fizz?

Different types of tequila can be used for a tequila fizz, from the more herbal and peppery Blanco to the richer, barrel-aged Reposado or Añejo. Each of these tequila varieties gives the cocktail its very own character.

What does the Tequila Fizz taste like?

The Tequila Fizz is known for its crisp and refreshing taste. The clear notes of tequila are in the foreground. The choice of tequila can significantly influence the taste - a blanco tequila brings out the earthy and slightly peppery notes of the agave, while a reposado or añejo brings soft, woody aromas.

The lime adds a lively, tangy element that balances the richness of the tequila, while the sugar adds a hint of sweetness. The carbonation of the soda lightens the flavors and makes the cocktail light and tangy.
