Tequila Sunrise Mimosa
Trying to make it through an unbearable breakfast with your in-laws? Grab a blend of orange and pineapple juice and throw in some tequila. You’ll pull it through just fine, or you might just end up having a lot of fun.
Enjoy tequila with sangria
Sangria means "little blood" in Spanish. It is non-alcoholic. Pair sangria with sipping tequila in a different shot glass. Take turns sipping tequila and sangria. To make a mix, follow these steps:
- 1 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice
- 1 cup tomato juice
- 1 tsp grenadine
- 12 dashes hot sauce
Follow the sipping protocol
If you enjoy sipping tequila the right way, then here are some tips on how to drink tequila.
- Pour one ounce of tequila into a tequila glass.
- Hold the glass at the stem and raise the glass to eye level and look at the color of tequila.
- Swirl tequila gently and see how it clings on the walls of the glass.
- Take a small sip and swish the tequila around in your mouth for 10 seconds.
- Swallow and repeat!
Take the shot
This is how many Mexicans drink tequila. Neat and un-chilled. Take room temperature tequila in a shot glass. Toast. And pour it down your gullet. You can also have tequila with salt and lime. Lick the skin between your index finger and thumb. Shake a little bit of salt on your skin. Take a lime wedge and tequila shot in your hand. Lick the salt, shoot the tequila in one gulp and suck on the lime.
Ginger Beergarita
If the name rings a bell, you’re probably thinking of a margarita with Corona in it. These are generally served at ratchet Mexican restaurants, but that’s NOT Ginger Beergarita. What we’re speaking of is a heavenly blend of lime on the rocks, tequila, and ginger – the most satisfying cocktail in all the worlds.
