Tequila Slammer is a carbonated tequila shot. The point is the fizzing slam, so the glass must be small and sturdy rather than a hurricane glass.
Pour tequila and 7 Up into a sturdy shot glass, leaving room for foam. Cover the glass, tap it once to activate the bubbles, and drink immediately.
Serve in a shot glass with no garnish.
Pair it with salty snacks, tacos, nachos, or party food.
This is a modern party shot based on tequila and a fizzy mixer.
Best for party shot service where the method is understood and controlled.
Tequila gives agave heat while 7 Up adds lemon-lime sweetness and explosive carbonation.
Fast, fizzy, playful, and direct.
Use lemon-lime soda or ginger ale, but avoid overfilling the glass.
