For an extra touch of sweetness sans sugar, you can rim the glasses with granulated stevia. If you're unable to find the soda with bitters, you can use a regular or no sugar added lemon lime soda, and optionally add a pinch of orange bitters.

Serves: 6 servings

12 ounces silver tequila
1½ cans no sugar lemon lime soda (used Zevia Lemon Lime with Bitters)
1 tablespoon orange extract
Shredded coconut, for garnish (optional)
Granulated sugar-free sweetener, for garnish (optional)
Cranberries or pomegranate arils, for garnish (optional)
Rosemary sprigs, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Rim six glasses with granulated sweetener and/or coconut, if desired.
Divide the mixture among glasses and garnish each with cranberries or pomegranate and rosemary, if desired.

Notes

Coconut Milk Note: For a rich and creamy finish, use full-fat canned coconut milk. For a lighter but still gently creamy drink, use lite canned coconut milk. Both can be found in the Asian section of most supermarkets. If you use a coconut milk beverage (the type you drink, in cartons), this will be a much more watery drink.
