The Batanga cocktail, a refreshing mix of tequila and cola with a hint of lime, hails from Mexico, specifically from the town of Tequila. It was created by Don Javier Delgado Corona, the legendary bartender at La Capilla, a well-known bar in the region. This simple yet flavorful drink is perfect for those who enjoy tequila with a sweet, fizzy edge.
