Mix carefully to avoid releasing the dissolved CO2.
The Tequila Slammer is a simple, boisterous shot made with tequila and 7-Up, mixed carefully to preserve the carbonation and then consumed in a single gulp. The ritual of 'slamming' the glass on the bar before drinking to create a brief, fizzy effervescence is central to the drink's appeal. It is a party shot associated with high-energy social drinking rather than refined sipping.
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.
