Tequila Based Cocktails
Tequila cocktails are diverse and a lot of fun to explore. You can mix up the original margarita or enjoy it in a variety of flavours, from strawberry to tamarind. There are also tall, refreshing mixed drinks, slow-sipping versions of popular vodka cocktails, and interesting spicy cocktails to tantalise your taste buds. With each recipe, you get an entirely new experience.
The beauty of tequila is that its agave flavour brings an earthy, sweet element to drinks that cannot be found in any other distilled spirit. It’s interesting to see how that flavour reacts with a variety of mixers, so let’s begin your tequila adventure with a few essential cocktails.
Margarita
The margarita is the most widely known tequila cocktail. The original lime version is incredibly easy to mix up from scratch. It requires just three ingredients and the fresh citrus flavour is captivating. Click here to learn how to make a Classic Margarita.
Once you get a taste of an authentic margarita, you’re ready for the countless other margaritas. Some are frozen, many feature fruits like strawberries, apples, and pineapple, and quite a few combine intriguing flavours like mint, cucumber, and hot sauce
Tequila Sunrise
Another iconic cocktail in the world of tequila is the beautiful tequila sunrise. This simple mixed drink is made up of tequila, orange juice, and grenadine, and its visual appeal has inspired a number of other cocktails over the years.
Not only does the grenadine create a sunrise in your glass, it also adds a fruity sweetness. This is a fantastic contrast to the tart citrus. With tequila hanging out in the background, it’s easy to see why this will forever be a favorite.
