Tequila Slammer는 데킬라와 7-Up을 조심스럽게 혼합하여 탄산을 보존한 후 한 번에 마시는 간결하고 활기찬 샷입니다. 마시기 전에 탄산감을 만들기 위해 바에 글라스를 '슬래밍'하는 의식이 이 음료의 매력의 핵심입니다. 세련된 음용보다는 활기찬 소셜 음주와 관련된 파티 샷입니다.

History & Origins

The Tequila Slammer gained widespread popularity in the late 1980s and 1990s, particularly in British nightclub culture, where covering the glass and slamming it on the bar to carbonate the drink was a popular pre-drinking ritual. The drink's specific origin is disputed, though it is associated with the global proliferation of tequila as a party spirit during that period. It is sometimes called the Tequila Boilermaker or simply the Slammer.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Tequila's agave and slight earthiness with the sweet citrus of 7-Up. Palate: Sweet and citrusy from the 7-Up, with tequila's agave character providing an alcoholic punch; the carbonation creates a slightly rough, fizzy texture when consumed quickly. Finish: Brief and fiery with a clean agave and citrus note.

Pro Tip

Maintain an equal ratio of tequila to 7-Up and cover the glass before slamming to properly carbonate the mixture just before drinking.
