Tequila lovers, rejoice: we bring you the recipe for the trending Batanga cocktail

Tequila is becoming increasingly popular, and one delightful way to enjoy it is through the Batanga cocktail. Originating from Mexico in the 1950s, this simple yet refreshing drink requires just three ingredients: lime, tequila, and Coca-Cola. To make a Batanga cocktail, start by slicing a lime in half. Rub the cut side of the lime around the rim of a tall glass and dip the rim in salt. If you prefer, you can skip the salt on the rim and add a pinch directly into the drink. Fill the glass with ice, squeeze the juice of half the lime into the glass, and pour in about 60 milliliters of tequila. Finally, top off the glass with Coca-Cola. Stir the drink with the same knife you used to cut the lime, which adds a hint of lime flavor to the mix. The cocktail is known for its balanced flavor - crisp, slightly sweet from the Coke, and vibrant from the lime and tequila. It's a perfect choice for a hot summer day!
