Tequila Slammer: The Boom Boom Cocktail
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 the glass on the bar or table.
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.
