Dive into Paris Spritz is a tall, highball-style tequila spritz that leans into bright citrus and playful, modern mixer culture rather than old-school cocktail lore. With blanco tequila as the backbone, it sits in that easy-drinking space between a fruit cooler and a party spritz—built for refreshment, lift, and a little extra buzz from contemporary soft drinks.
You’ll find tequila blanco’s clean, peppery edge sharpened by lime juice, then softened by a generous pour of apple juice that brings mellow sweetness and a rounded, orchard-like body. Pineapple juice adds a tropical tang that bridges neatly into the lemonade’s fizzy lemon sweetness, keeping the whole drink light on the palate. A small hit of energy drink layers in a distinct, sweet-tart kick that rides over the fruit and citrus without completely taking over, while mint on top gives each sip a fresher finish.
Serve it when you want something long, bright, and social—ideal for warm afternoons, pre-drinks, or casual house parties. It suits you if you like tequila but prefer it in a fruit-forward, sparkling format, and it’s especially appealing when you’re after a lively, upbeat highball that stays refreshing from first sip to last.

Ingredients
Cocktail Colin says:
Blanco tequila leads with crisp agave snap, chased by lime juice bite and a wave of apple juice and pineapple juice fruitiness, while lemonade adds fizzy lemon-sugar lift and the energy drink brings a sharp, candy-like tang; mint leaves flash cool aroma on the finish. It works because lime’s acidity and tequila’s edge keep the juices and lemonade from turning cloying, and the energy drink amplifies the “party spritz” vibe—best for drinkers who like bright, sweet-tart highballs.
