This is our take on a refreshing highball or spritz for those warm summer evenings.

Jalisco soda

Serves 1

For the champagne cordial (makes 200ml)

100ml champagne, or cava or crémant – preferably one that’s on the drier side

100g caster sugar

5g citric acid

For the drink

10ml tequila – we use El Rayo’s Plata

30ml aromatised wine – we use Lillet Blanc

30ml champagne cordial (see above and method)

Soda water, to top

1 strip lemon peel, to garnish

1****green olive, to garnish

First, make the cordial. Put the fizz, sugar and citric acid in a jug, stir to dissolve the sugar, decant into a clean jar or bottle, seal and keep in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Pour the tequila, aromatised wine and champagne cordial into a tall glass, fill with ice and top with soda to taste. Give it a good stir, garnish and serve.

We know this is annoying… but we wouldn’t want you to miss our EOFY offer

Seeing these messages can be repetitive. We know that. (Imagine what it’s like writing them … )

But it’s also extremely important. One of the Guardian’s most valuable assets is its reader funding.

1. Reader funding means we can cover what we like. We’re not beholden to the political whims of a billionaire owner. No one can tell us what not to say or what not to report.

2. Reader funding means we don’t have to chase clicks and traffic. We’re not desperately seeking your attention for the sake of it: we pursue the stories that our editorial team deems important, and believe are worthy of your time.

3. Reader funding means we can keep our website open, allowing as many people as possible to read quality journalism from around the world – especially those who live in places where the free press is in peril.

Right now, the Guardian’s work is funded by just 2.4% of our regular readers. We know that not everyone can afford to pay for news, but if it would help to convince you to support us, we’d love to offer readers like you from the US a Digital plus subscription.
