A hot summer day or a cool evening, this is a drink that can be made and enjoyed any time of the day! Lighter than other of its counterparts, Tequila is an alcohol that can be taken even during day time. Refreshing Tequila Lemonade, a drink that puts together light alcohol and the refreshing lemon, this drink never fails to amaze me!
A delicious, two ingredients cocktail, you can twist it as per your own choice as well. With so much room for innovation, you will definitely love  Refreshing Tequila Lemonade. An easier version of Margarita, this is quick to make.
Two types of Tequila can be used in Tequila Lemonade. One is unaged Tequila (Blanco). One is aged Tequila (reposado). Any of these can be used. Â
No sugary mixes or syrups are required. You can use homemade lemonade for the best taste, but it is not obligatory. You can use store-bought lemonade as well. Tequila is a drink that requires an age limit in most countries.
For making it age-appropriate, you also have the option to make it with white soda (Sprite) instead of Tequila.
