How to Make Cherry Lime Tequila Pop

Step 1: Pull a red Solo cup from your Gator's spring-loaded dispenser. The built-in holder keeps cups clean and ready.

Step 2: Fill the cup with clean ice cubes from your Gator's dedicated ice bin. Clean ice means bright, crisp flavors.

Step 3: Pour 2 oz of tequila from your organized bottle compartment. Silver tequila keeps it light; reposado adds smooth depth.

Step 4: Add 4 oz of cherry soda. The insulated compartments keep soda cold and fizzy.

Step 5: Squeeze in 1 oz of fresh lime juice (about half a lime). The acidity balances the sweet cherry perfectly.

Step 6: Give it a gentle stir to combine. Garnish with a fresh lime wedge from your Gator's front storage pocket. Serve immediately while it's fizzy!
