Sips & Tips
Technique
Use a sturdy glass — you're slamming it on a hard surface. Cover completely with your palm to avoid spillage. Drink while it's still fizzing.
Balance
The slam carbonates the tequila and creates a foamy, effervescent shot. Ginger ale is traditional; some use lemon-lime soda for a sweeter version.
