When in doubt, add soda. The resulting highball (about 2 oz. of any booze filled to the top with soda) is refreshing—and impossible to mess up.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Stir elderflower cordial, tequila, and two 3x1" strips lemon zest, thinly sliced lengthwise, in an ice-filled highball glass until very cold, about 30 seconds. Top off with club soda.

    Step 2

    Using a small serrated knife, remove a 1" strip of peel from lemon (some white pith is okay); it should be stiff enough to provide some resistance when bent. Twist over drink to express oils; discard.
