I made this with Jose Cuervo Especial Silver, and the remains of an unimpressive Croser X 78 Degrees NV (still seemed expensive at the discounted price - I appreciate the idea but it just didn't work and/or doesn't last?) A little short on the sparkling wine, but tequila+lemon+anything seems pretty hard to fail! The added syrup does balance things out. Yum - adding salt/saline solution might be a step too fair here.

Paired with Black Label Society - 1919 Eternal. Rocks! :)

A great drink with lunch or on a warm afternoon. Very enjoyable. Goes great with Mexican food.
