(Claro)
Category: Mixed Alcoholic Drinks and Cocktails
Tequila has become amazingly popular and many people have discovered how suave and varied the types of tequila can be. With this popularity, new mixed drinks pop up all the time. My husband came up with this way to enjoy tequila as a cocktail. It's colorless, so we named it claro (clear). Serve with finger snacks before a meal.
Ice cubes
3 ounces silver tequila
4 ounces soda pop water or seltzer
1/2 slice fresh oranges
Fill an old-fashioned glass or a 6-ounce glass with ice cubes. Pour in the tequila and fill the glass with soda water. Give it a stir. Garnish with the orange slice. Serve.
