Tequila, the spirited heart of Mexico, has danced its way into the global cocktail scene with an allure that's both vibrant and versatile. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado or a curious newcomer, the world of Tequila cocktails offers a rich tapestry of flavours, each with its unique charm and character.
Take pride in curating a premium selection of artisan Tequilas that elevate your classic cocktails to new heights, ensuring a sip that's as authentic as it is delicious.
Let's explore some of our favourite Tequila cocktails and the spirits that bring them to life.
The Timeless Margarita
The Margarita, with its perfect balance of sweet, sour, salty, and bitter, is perhaps the most iconic Tequila cocktail. This classic concoction traditionally consists of Tequila, lime juice, and triple sec, often served with a salted rim to enhance its flavours.
For a Margarita that truly sings, we recommend using Tequila Corralejo Blanco. Its clean, crisp agave flavour, paired with a subtle citrus undertone, creates a Margarita that's both refreshing and deeply satisfying.
The Sophisticated Paloma
The Paloma is a testament to the beauty of simplicity, blending Tequila with grapefruit soda for a drink that's refreshing and effortlessly chic. To craft a Paloma that stands out, the choice of Tequila is paramount.
Tequila Los Arango Blanco offers a smooth, floral aroma with a hint of pepper, adding a layer of complexity to the Paloma that's genuinely unparalleled. The natural sweetness and botanical notes of this Tequila complement the grapefruit's tanginess, making every sip a celebration.
The Enigmatic Tequila Sunrise
Visually impressive, the Tequila Sunrise is a layered cocktail that mirrors the hues of a sunrise. It combines Tequila with orange juice and grenadine, creating a spectacle of colour and a harmony of flavours.
For this vibrant cocktail, Tequila Corralejo Reposado is our choice. Aged in American oak barrels, it imparts a warm, oaky depth to the cocktail, while its vanilla and spice notes weave through the sweetness of the orange and grenadine, offering a sunrise you'll want to savour at any hour.
The Bold Mexican Mule
A twist on the classic Moscow Mule, the Mexican Mule replaces vodka with Tequila, adding a bold kick to the gingery effervescence.
Tequila Los Arango Reposado, with its balanced blend of wood and agave, enriched with hints of caramel and cinnamon, transforms the Mexican Mule into a drink with a statement. Its robust character stands up to the ginger beer while harmonising with the lime's zest, creating a cocktail that's both bold and refreshing.
