High Noon Tequila Seltzer Lime

High Noon Tequila Seltzer Lime is a canned, pre-mixed drink from High Noon in the United States, listed here with Massachusetts as its state. It sits in the hard seltzer category, but the base is tequila rather than a neutral malt or sugar spirit. Tequila-based seltzers like this usually taste of lime and light carbonation, with a faint agave note underneath. They are typically drier and lighter than a margarita, because the sweetness and body of a classic sour mix are replaced by bubbles. This one is flavored with lime alone, so expect a citrus-forward profile and not a layered fruit blend. Check the can for the exact alcohol by volume and the serving size, because those figures weren't supplied with this listing. Everything is already in the can. You don't need to measure a spirit, squeeze a lime or shake anything, so it works without any bar tools or extra ingredients. Open it and drink it, or pour it over ice. A can poured into a highball or rocks glass over fresh ice releases some of the carbonation and lets the lime aroma come forward more than it does from the aluminum. Drinking straight from the can works just as well when you want to keep things simple. Serve it cold. Chilling it thoroughly, in a refrigerator or an ice bath, keeps the carbonation crisp and the lime tasting clean. As the can warms, a drink like this tends to lose its snap and the citrus can taste flatter. If you pour it over ice, use plenty of ice so it stays cold without melting down too quickly. A lime wedge on the rim is optional, since the lime flavor is already in the drink. The lime-and-tequila profile suits the foods usually eaten with margaritas. Tacos, grilled chicken or shrimp, fish with citrus, nachos, guacamole and salsa all fit, as do charcoal-grilled burgers and other salty, smoky dishes. The acidity and bubbles tend to cut through fried food and rich cheese. It is a practical choice for a cooler at a cookout, a beach or park outing, a tailgate or a casual get-together where you want a single-serve drink that needs no glassware or prep.
