Notes

Is it possible to create a Tequila Mockingbird that does not contain alcohol?
For a delightful mocktail, you may easily make it alcohol-free by using a different spirit or by increasing the quantities of club soda and lime juice.
In what ways can I adjust the acidity and sweetness of the Tequila Mockingbird?
Make the simple syrup as sweet or as tart as you like by adjusting the amount of lime juice.
Does it matter if the mint is fresh?
The unique, invigorating flavor of the Tequila Mockingbird is achieved, without a doubt, by using fresh mint.
