Ingredients

How to make it

  1. Pour the tequila into a sturdy shot glass and top with lemon-lime soda.
  2. Cover the glass with your palm, slam it down on the bar so it fizzes up and drink it in one go.

Tip: Fill the glass right to the top with ice so the drink stays cold without watering down fast.

About the Tequila Slammer

Slamming the glass releases the bubbles, so it has to be drunk immediately. Some bars top it with champagne instead of soda.
