Tequila Simple (Tequila + Sweet & Sour)

If you prefer a slightly chilled, integrated tequila drink, fill a cocktail shaker with ice, add 2 oz tequila blanco, 1.5 oz sweet & sour mix and 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, then shake vigorously for 10 seconds. Strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice. Garnish with a lime wedge.
Well Margarita-ish (Tequila + Triple Sec + Lime)
Quick Build
For a simple well margarita variant, combine 2 oz tequila, 0.5 oz triple sec and 0.5 oz fresh lime juice in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake 10 seconds and strain into a salt-rimmed glass over fresh ice. Garnish with a lime wheel.
Service Notes
All well drinks are designed for speed and consistency at a busy bar. Use the listed well spirit and the paired mixer to make a quick highball or mixed cocktail. Adjust mixer volume to taste (6 oz is a guideline for a 10–12 oz served drink). Always stir carbonated mixers gently to preserve effervescence. Keep garnishes prepared and ice plentiful.
