Barsys
Mexican 75
About
The Mexican 75 is a tequila-forward riff on the classic French 75 - just as bubbly, refreshing, and celebratory, but with a brighter, citrus-driven kick. Using Teremana Blanco, the drink brings clean agave character into the mix, balanced with fresh lime juice, a touch of simple syrup, and a sparkling finish from champagne or sparkling wine.
It’s lively, elegant, and built for good moments - perfect for brunch, festive evenings, or any occasion that calls for a little sparkle with a tequila twist.
Shaken or Stirred? Shaken and topped. Shake the base ingredients, then top with champagne to keep the bubbles lively.

Single Serve

Pro Tip
Use very cold champagne or sparkling wine - the colder it is, the longer the bubbles stay vibrant. And always top gently to preserve the fizz.

Tasting Notes
The Barsys Edge
Sparkling cocktails depend on a well-calibrated base - too tart or too sweet, and the bubbles get lost. Barsys keeps the tequila-lime-sweetener balance tight so the champagne can shine without overpowering the drink.
Sip Setting
Perfect for toasts, brunches, bridal showers, holiday parties, or any moment where you want something crisp, sparkling, and effortlessly elevated.
Garnish Game
A lime twist adds the perfect aromatic lift. For extra flair, freeze a thin lime wheel inside an ice ring and drop it in the flute.
