We’ve noticed that there aren’t as many options for tequila-drinking cocktail fans as there are for those who quaff other spirits, so we were thrilled to find this recipe in an issue of Saveur – sadly, it doesn’t seem to have much in the way of history or pedigree.
It’s a uniquely tasty drink, with blackberry liqueur providing a gorgeous ruby hue and fruity flavor, set off with lemon and fizzy water. Given the name, Topo Chico is a natural choice – but any sparkling water is good, and even a lightly-flavored sparkling water (like lemon La Croix or blackberry Bubly or Spindrift) will be excellent.
