Notes

Substitutes:

  • Tequila: You can use vodka or white rum if you don't have Tequila. Both will give a different flavor profile but still work well in this
  • Soda Water: Club soda or any clear carbonated beverage can be used as a substitute for soda water. Just be aware that flavored sodas will alter the taste of the cocktail.

Making it Vegan:

  • Tequila: Most tequilas are already vegan, but it's always good to check the brand, as some may use animal products in their processing methods.
  • Soda Water: Soda water is naturally vegan.
