On days when a margarita feels a little heavy, this combination is much lighter and more drinkable.
Why it's good to make it at home
Make a highball by adding coconut water and carbonated water to 45ml of Blanco tequila. This recipe pares the agave trend down to a casual home bar style. It has few ingredients and is easy to measure, so you can make it even without a shaker. When choosing a blanco tequila from Drinkit, look for bottles with a clear herbal and citrus flavor for this recipe rather than bottles with a strong vanilla flavor.

If the coconut water is sweet, it is better to leave out the syrup. A little salt on the rim of the glass makes it feel much more like a bar menu.
