Notes
For a non-alcoholic version, omit tequila and replace with additional chilled 7UP or sparkling water.
Vodka can be used as a substitute for tequila if preferred.
Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor instead of bottled lemon juice.
Chilling all ingredients beforehand helps keep the drink cold without diluting it quickly with ice.
Adjust sweetness by adding a splash of simple syrup if desired.
Serve in glasses rimmed with sugar for an added festive touch.
