What is Tequila and Cola Called

Tequila and cola is a beautifully simple yet endlessly satisfying combination. While cola’s versatility allows it to pair with almost any spirit, its marriage with tequila creates something truly special. This uncomplicated mix belies the complex flavors that can emerge when quality ingredients come together. The earthy, sometimes fiery notes of tequila find a perfect counterpoint in the sweet, caramel undertones of cola.

Whether you’re looking for a quick, refreshing drink or a base for more elaborate concoctions, tequila and cola offers a world of flavors to explore.

The Batanga Cocktail

The Batanga is one of the most famous tequila and Cola cocktails, originating from the town of Tequila in Jalisco, Mexico. This classic drink was reportedly created by Don Javier Delgado Corona, owner of La Capilla bar, and has since become a beloved cocktail among locals and tourists alike.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz (60 ml) Altos Tequila
  • 4-5 oz (120-150 ml) Cola
  • 1/2 oz (15 ml) Fresh lime juice
  • Salt for rimming the glass
  • Ice cubes
  • Lime wedge for garnish

How to do it

  1. Start by preparing your glass. Run a lime wedge around the rim of a highball glass, then dip the rim in salt to create a salted rim.
  2. Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some room at the top.
  3. Pour 2 oz of Altos Tequila over the ice.
  4. Add 1/2 oz of fresh lime juice to the glass.
  5. Top off the glass with 4-5 oz of cola, or to taste.
  6. Gently stir the drink with a bar spoon or a knife (traditionally, Don Javier used the same knife he used to cut limes).
  7. Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
  8. Serve and enjoy your authentic Batanga cocktail!

For the best flavor, use Altos Tequila and a high-quality cola. The combination of Altos Tequila, lime, and cola creates a surprisingly complex and satisfying drink that’s perfect for sipping on a warm evening or enjoying with friends at a party.

Charro Negro

The Charro Negro is a refreshing and unique variation of the classic tequila and Cola, incorporating the rich flavor of coffee to create a more complex and satisfying taste experience. This cocktail combines the smoothness of Altos Tequila infused with coffee, the effervescence of Cola, and a hint of citrus for a truly delightful result.

Ingredients

  • Ice
  • 1 oz (30 ml) Altos Infusionado Café
  • 2 oz (60 ml) Cola
  • 1 lime slice to garnish

How to do it

  1. Fill an old-fashioned or rocks glass with ice to the brim.
  2. Pour 1 oz of Altos Infusionado Café over the ice.
  3. Slowly add 2 oz of Cola to maintain effervescence.
  4. Gently stir with a bar spoon to mix the ingredients without losing the Cola’s carbonation.
  5. Garnish with a lime slice on the rim of the glass.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy your Charro Negro.

The contrast between the coffee-infused tequila and the sweetness of the Cola creates a balanced and sophisticated cocktail, perfect for any occasion.
