Tequila Highball Recipe

Tequila Highball Recipe

  • 1 teaspoon elderflower cordial or syrup
  • 1 1/2 ounces añejo tequila
  • 1 lemon
  • Club soda (for serving)
  1. Stir 1 teaspoon elderflower cordial or syrup, 1 1/2 ounces añejo tequila, and two 3×1″ strips lemon zest, thinly sliced lengthwise, in an ice-filled highball glass until very cold, about 30 seconds. Top off with club soda.
  2. Using a small serrated knife, remove a 1″ strip of peel from a lemon (some white pith is okay); it should be stiff enough to provide some resistance when bent. Twist over drink to express oils; discard.
