Notes
- Tequila Choice: Blanco (silver) tequila offers a clean, bright flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of Dr. Pepper.
- Triple Sec Alternatives: Consider using Grand Marnier for a richer orange flavor.
- Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice provides the best flavor, but bottled juice can be used in a pinch.
- Dr. Pepper Variations: Diet Dr. Pepper can be used to reduce sugar and calories.
