Day 20: "Alamo Splash"


This next drink is called an Alamo Splash. I don’t have much background information on this, and I can’t really tell from the name what to expect. So, without further ado, here is the recipe for the Alamo splash (taken from the American Bartenders School website):

1 oz tequila (Sauza Tequila Silver)
1 oz pineapple juice (Dole Pineapple Juice)
1 oz orange juice (Simply Natural Orange Juice)
Splash of lemon-lime soda (7-Up)

Add all ingredients to a glass and stir.

Like many of the drinks in this blog, this drink is not classic enough to have its own specific glassware. Feel free to use any type of glass and garnishing you so choose.

Personal tasting notes: Not terrible, but it didn’t stand out among the other drinks. A little on the bland side for my taste. I wouldn’t recommend this to a friend, but not because I just didn’t like it flat out. Just because there are better juice-based drinks out there. Try a Tequila Sunrise instead.
