Few liquors get a reaction quite like Tequila. Many have experienced an evening of too many shots, leaving them to recoil at the mention of having a cocktail with this wonderful agave liquor. They’ll kindly select something else for their libations. I like the challenge to see if I can change their mind!
The margarita is the best-known tequila cocktail, naturally. And it’s a great drink. Definitely make a point to craft a good one. There are a variety of other cocktails you can explore to see the differences between a blanco and reposado. Then explore further with mezcals if you’re seeking something smokier!
