The Tequila Slammer, also known as the Tequila Boom Boom, is a cocktail that offers a unique experience unlike other tequila-based drinks.

Why is the Tequila Slammer so famous? The secret to its success lies in its simplicity—just two ingredients. However, what truly sets it apart is the way it’s served once prepared, making it completely distinctive.

Tequila Slammer Shot Ingredients

As mentioned earlier, this recipe requires just two ingredients:

  • 1 part/30ml Altos Plata
  • 1 part/30 ml of Soda, Ginger Beer, Champagne, 7-up or similar.

Make no mistake—you don’t need to use all the suggested drinks alongside the tequila, just pick the one you like best. The idea is to pair tequila with a mixer that allows you to serve it “Boom Boom” style.

For a more sophisticated touch, try champagne or sparkling wine. Opt for soda or 7-Up if you prefer more fizz, or go for ginger beer to add a unique flavour.

You can also prepare it with ice if you like.

How to Prepare this Tequila Boom Boom

Mix the ingredients in a glass, preferably a wide “on the rocks” glass. Before serving, cover the glass with your hand, a napkin, or even a saucer, and gently tap it on the bar or table.

And there you have it—the secret lies in mixing tequila with a fizzy drink. When you tap the glass on the table, it creates an effervescent effect. The drink should be enjoyed while it’s still in this lively, bubbling state.

Your Questions Answered Margaritas

Can I use Altos in cocktails other than Margaritas?

Oh, definitely. Altos levels up everything from Palomas to Tequila Sunrises — even an Old Fashioned if you’re feeling creative. If it’s got a glass, Altos belongs in it.

What’s the difference between Plata, Reposado, and Añejo?

Plata’s fresh and vibrant, Reposado’s smooth with a touch of oak, and Añejo’s rich, deep, and full of character. Three tequilas, three moods — all pure Altos.

Is Altos Tequila made sustainably?

Yep — we’re big on doing things the right way. From recycling agave fibres to reusing water at the distillery, Altos keeps it clean and green. Great tequila, made with a conscience.

What’s the best way to drink Altos Tequila?

However you like it. It’s a knockout in a Margarita or Paloma, but just as good neat if you want to taste that craftsmanship. Whatever the occasion, Altos always brings the good vibes.

What makes Altos Tequila different from other tequilas?

Altos isn’t just another tequila — it’s the real deal. Made from 100% Blue Agave grown high in Jalisco, slow-cooked, copper-distilled, and crafted by bartenders who know their stuff. The result? A tequila that’s smooth, bold, and built for mixing.
