Modern Eclipse Batanga

Description: The Modern Eclipse Batanga takes the classic simplicity of the traditional Batanga—tequila and cola, accented with a touch of lime—and elevates it with the inclusion of a homemade charred lime syrup and a dash of smoked salt. The smoky undertones bring out the robust flavors of the tequila while the charred lime syrup adds a sophisticated twist, giving this cocktail a modern edge. Perfect for sipping as the sun sets, it's a contemporary take on a beloved classic. Ingredients: - 2 oz of reposado tequila - 0.5 oz of charred lime syrup (to make: grill halves of limes until charred, then mix equal parts sugar and water with the juice of the charred limes over heat until dissolved) - Cola to top off - A dash of smoked sea salt - Lime wheel for garnish - Ice Glass: Highball Instructions: 1. In a highball glass filled with ice, add the reposado tequila. 2. Add the charred lime syrup. 3. Top off with cola, leaving a little room. 4. Sprinkle a dash of smoked sea salt over the top. 5. Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim. 6. Stir gently to combine the flavors without losing the fizz from the cola. 7. Serve immediately and enjoy the modern twist on the classic Batanga.
