Fiesta Fizz
About
The Fiesta Fizz is exactly what the name promises - light, lively, and built for easy drinking. Tequila gives the drink its base, bringing that familiar citrusy, slightly earthy flavor. It’s present, but not overpowering. Think of it more as the backbone that holds everything together.
Grapefruit juice adds the first layer of freshness. It’s slightly tart, slightly bitter, and keeps the drink from leaning too sweet. That sharp edge is what makes the cocktail feel crisp right from the first sip.
Passion fruit comes in right after and softens things out. It adds a tropical sweetness with a bit of tang, giving the drink more body and making it feel a little more fun and expressive.
Then club soda lifts everything. It adds fizz, stretches the flavors, and turns it into something you can sip for a long time without it feeling heavy. That’s where the “fizz” really comes alive.
The result is bright, refreshing, and super easy to enjoy. The Fiesta Fizz feels like a drink made for good weather, music, and company - something you don’t overthink, you just keep sipping.
Shaken or Stirred? Built. Everything is built directly in the glass to keep it fresh and fizzy.
