Attention soda lovers: this Diet Coke and tequila cocktail is here to blow your mind, one sip, and you'll be hooked!

Tequila & Diet Coke

When my friends ask me for simple and delicious tequila cocktails they can mix up at home, I always recommend a Tequila and Coke, aka Batanga! An unlikely combination turns into a delicious drink that is easy to make and goes down quickly!

For those of us who prefer a low-carb drink, I decided to mix up this Tequila and Diet Coke cocktail. It contains only 133 calories, 44 fewer than a regular Coke and tequila cocktail, which contains 177 calories.

How to Make a Diet Coke & Tequila Cocktail

  1. Measure the tequila and Diet Coke to ensure this drink isn't overly boozy or watered down with soda.
  2. Combine both in a glass with ice and stir.
  3. Squeeze a lime wedge into the drink, then garnish with another to bring the flavors together!
