Lime and Mint Tequila Spritzer

Hi friends! Today, I am sharing my new Lime and Mint Tequila Spritzer Recipe, just in time for the warm evenings ahead! If you like margaritas or mojitos, then this is the cocktail for you!

Margaritas are made with all types of tequilas but Mojitos are typically made with Rum. In my opinion, rum has a rich, smokey flavor. Creating a mojito-like cocktail with tequila seemed to be the best way to combine these popular drinks into a refreshing spritzer.

We are typically wine and vodka drinkers, but several neighbors and friends have been schooling us on good tequilas. Oh, happy day! I have really grown to enjoy it, even just on ice.

In the warmer months, I love making spritzers. I thought…”How yummy would it be if I made a spritzer that was a combination of a margarita and a mojito?!” Hence, this development of this new recipe.

Plus, I am in the midst of planning a Tequila Tasting Party and wanted to come up with a tequila cocktail we could enjoy with our dinner and before the tasting.

How to make this Lime and Mint Tequila Spritzer

The key ingredients are fresh lime, mint, simple syrup, the “spritzer” part, and, of course, tequila (a good one!). I did my homework on what Tequila I chose to use.

Ingredients for a Lime and Mint Tequila Spritzer:

• Tequila – I would recommend a Reposado or a Blanco (Silver) type of tequila but you can really use any one of your favorite tequilas.
• Fresh Lime Juice – PLEASE try to only use the real deal! It really makes a difference in terms of the fresh flavor of lime that has been freshly squeezed.
• Fresh Mint – I have yards and yards of fresh mint in our yard so I love creating recipes with it! A good handful is all you will need unless you are serving a crowd.
• Simple Syrup – This just adds a touch of sweetness. You can make your own by boiling 1 part water with 1 part sugar or honey (and let it cool). OR, you can use pre-made simple syrup (this is the super-easy way!).
• The “Spritz” – You can use sparkling water, club soda, Perrier, or other flavored sodas (if you want to add some more sweetness). I used Spindrift in the lime flavor because they only use fresh lime in their sparkling water.
• ICE – Who wants a warm cocktail? Right?!

Measurements and quantities are listed below in the recipe card (scroll down).

With regard to the tequila used, I chose a Don Roberto Reposado which is aged to perfection for a minimum of 10 months in white oak barrels. You can taste hints of coconut, wood, rosemary, vanilla, and chocolate which add depth and complexity to this smooth tequila.

There are 5 types of tequila: Silver (or blanco/white); Joven (or gold/oro/dorado); Reposado (or rested); Añejo (or aged); and, Extra Añejo (ultra aged). I found a great chart from Let’s Eat Cake that breaks them all down beautifully (and funny, too!) for you.

With regard to the glassware for the cocktail, I always like to use special glasses for these types of drinks. The glassware you use is completely part of the whole experience. For this cocktail, I am using my new Modus Tumblers. I have had the Modus Wine Glasses, so I am super excited to add these to my collection. You can see how I used them in a recent post of a Spring Tablescape with Bold Colors HERE.

The unique handmade quality of the glassware is so notable! The marbling effect around the bottom of the glass is so artistic and worthy of a tasty, refreshing cocktail! Plus, they have small coordinating serving bowls that work great to serve nuts and other small appetizers to serve with your drinks. They are linked below here…
