Thoughts

First I just want to say that technically for this drink you should be using Hornitos Plata Tequila, but since I already had a bottle of Montezuma I made an executive decision to use that instead.  That being said, this is a great drink that is very easy to swallow.  The lemon juice and sugar work well together to give it a sweet and sour taste that masks the alcohol, while the club soda gives it a good amount of carbonation, and makes it taste like a soda.  Actually it tasted like sprite, with less sweetness and a little more sour.  I would definitely make this again.
