I happen to like the taste of some tequilas, and even though this is a mixed drink I would only drink it with a decent smooth tequila. Before all the varieties of tequila showed up in my local market in recent years, I acquired a taste for Cuervo Gold, the top shelf tequilas are probably too good to mix this way; pour some into a tall glass with plenty of ice, top it off with 7up or Sprite ...about 50/50... add a slice of lemon. It's very smooth, interesting flavor with the agave, and I find it has a gentle after-effect/hangover if you have too many.
