eastside & tonic
Not your average tequila & tonic cocktail.
I’ve always loved a classic Eastside cocktail, so when a guest wanted something light, bright AND bubbly, I had a feeling there would be a delicious way to introduce Q MIXERS premium tonic into the mix, which is infused with real quinine, organic agave and max carbonation for perfect balance and a bold, classic taste.
While the spirit of the Eastside remains with the classic cucumber and mint combo, the swaps of tequila in place of gin, and lemon for lime allows all the ingredients to be more cohesive and remain insanely refreshing.
Ingredients
2-3 cucumber slices
5-7 mint leaves
0.25oz | 7.5ml 2:1 simple syrup
0.75oz | 22.5ml lemon juice
2oz | 60ml blanco tequila of choice
Top with @QMIXERS TONIC WATER
Cocktail Directions
Combine cucumber, mint, syrup, citrus and tequila into your shaker tin (no need to muddle), add ice, and do a short vigorous shake.
In a large glass pre-garnished with a long cucumber slice, add ice, and pour in 2oz (60ml) of Q TONIC WATER, and strain in cocktail.
Top with more tonic as necessary. Garnish further with a bouquet of mint.
