Tequila and club soda cocktails to make at home
Cocktail Colin says:
You can make a tequila, sour mix, and club soda style drink most easily by using a Collins style recipe, where citrus and sweetness stand in for sour mix and soda water gives the lift.
The best fit from our list is the Tequila Collins, which combines tequila with lemon juice, a touch of sugar or simple syrup, then tops up with soda water for that crisp, fizzy finish. If you want the same idea with slightly different proportions, the Jose Collins is another strong pick, again built around tequila, lemon, sugar and soda water.
If you are happy to swap sour mix for a different citrus base, the Paloma is a brilliant tequila and soda water choice. It stays long and refreshing, adding grapefruit and lime alongside tequila and a pinch of salt.
If club soda is your main priority, these are the most useful options:
- Tequila Collins: closest to tequila plus sour mix plus club soda
- Jose Collins: a slightly different Collins balance
- Paloma: tequila with soda water and bold citrus
If you want a sour without fizz, the Tequila Sour keeps the sour profile but skips the soda.
