FAQs
Can I make this without a shaker?
Yes – just stir the tequila, lime juice, and syrup directly into the glass before topping with soda. Shaking gives it a smoother blend, but it’ll still taste great.
Is it very sweet?
Not at all – the lime keeps it sharp. If you prefer a more sharper cocktails though, cut the cinnamon syrup back to 15 ml.
What if I don’t have reposado tequila?
Blanco tequila works fine – it’ll be fresher and lighter. Reposado just adds a lovely vanilla-spice depth that complements the cinnamon.
