Instructions
Fill a mason jar or highball glass with ice.
Pour the tequila and fresh lime juice over the ice and stir to combine.
Top with the sparkling mineral water and gently stir once more.
Garnish with a lime wedge and serve immediately.
Notes
Start with chilled sparkling mineral water. Ice cold Topo Chico (or another brand of sparkling mineral water) helps keep this drink crisp and bubbly without melting the ice too quickly.
Adjust the fizz to your taste. Use 4 ounces of sparkling water for a stronger tequila flavor or 6 ounces for a lighter, more refreshing drink.
Don't over-stir. A quick stir is all you need to combine the ingredients while keeping the bubbles intact.
