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.
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.
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.
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
