Notes
Substitutes:
- Reposado Tequila: If you don't have Reposado Tequila, you can use Blanco Tequila for a lighter flavor. I've also tried using vodka, which gives a different but still enjoyable taste.
- Chamomile Syrup: You can make your own chamomile syrup by steeping chamomile tea bags in hot water and adding sugar. If you're in a pinch, honey syrup works well too, though it changes the flavor slightly.
- Club Soda: Sparkling water can replace club soda if needed. It's less salty but still adds that fizzy element.
Making a Pitcher of Chamomile Tequila Highball:
- Scale: To make a pitcher that serves 8, multiply all the ingredients by 8. That would be 16 oz of Reposado Tequila and 8 oz of Chamomile Syrup.
- Mix: In a large pitcher, combine the tequila and chamomile syrup. Stir well.
- Serve: Pour the mixture into individual ice-filled Highball glasses, top with club soda, garnish with a lemon slice or twist, and serve immediately.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Tequila Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic tequila substitute; these are available and reasonably mimic tequila's flavor profile.
- Proceed As Usual: Use this non-alcoholic substitute instead of the regular tequila, follow the original steps, and enjoy a non-alcoholic version.
Making it Vegan:
- Chamomile Syrup: Ensure your chamomile syrup is vegan-friendly. Some store-bought syrups may contain honey or other animal products. I make my own using sugar and chamomile tea bags to keep it vegan.
- Proceed As Usual: Follow the original steps using your vegan-friendly chamomile syrup and enjoy a vegan version of this refreshing cocktail.
