The mixed drink consisting of apple juice and tequila has recently been blowing up across social media, with many imbibers claiming the juice completely masks the taste of alcohol.
While some TikTokers are adding an ounce of tequila to a glass with ice and topping it with apple juice, some are filling their glasses with equal portions of the two drinks.
Mixers like apple juice can effectively mask the harsh taste of alcohol due to their high sugar and citric acid content, making the said drink combination downright dangerous.
Firstly, if you can't taste the alcohol in your drink, you might get close to hitting your limit, which can increase your chances of getting sick or even lead to alcohol poisoning.
Secondly, since mixed drinks are so easy to make, often requiring no more than two ingredients, you might feel obligated to keep whipping them up even if you're over your limit.
Still, if you do decide to try out the trendy, delicious blend of apple juice and tequila, be sure to pace yourself and consider how much alcohol you're really consuming.
