Mexican Firing Squad

by Proof Syrup | October 8, 2021

This is two cocktails in one: a short, strong, margarita-style sour and a tall, refreshing sipper — just change glasses and add club soda to lengthen the drink. It's delicious both ways.

Ingredients

2 oz Tequila
¾ oz Lime Juice
¾ oz Pomegranate Proof Syrup or Classic Grenadine Proof Syrup
2-5 Dashes Angostura Bitters
Lime Wheel to Garnish

Tools

Jigger, Shaker, Strainer, Rocks Glass

Steps

Measure tequila, Proof Syrup, lime juice, and bitters into shaker; add ice and shake until well combined.
Strain into ice-filled rocks glass.
Garnish with lime wheel.

Variation

Prepare as above, but strain cocktail into a Collins or highball glass and top with club soda. This is one of those cocktails that's equally good strong and boozy vs tall and refreshing.
