Five Easy Tequila Cocktails!
I was really bummed to not have been able to get this video out for National Tequila Day, I try hard to get out videos for all the good national drinking holidays but alas I failed. That said, a lot of people have been asking me about how to use Tequila and so I thought a video on five great Tequila drinks was in order. As always I tried to vary the drinks to give the makers a good rounded tequila experience but since it is still summer and pretty hot, decided on some shaken cocktails, maybe volume 2 will be stirred drinks. I also made sure that all the drinks could be made with four tools: Shaker set, jigger, hawthorn strainer and fine strainer. Alright guys! Go get it!
Here's links to the tools I use in this episode:
Barfly Copper Measuring Cup: amzn.to/2BA24Yk
Barfly Shaking Set (Gold): amzn.to/2WAhHIg
Barfly Hawthorn Strainer: amzn.to/2OkFZ8v
Barfly Fine Strainer: amzn.to/2X44wD8
Tequila Beyond Sunrise: amzn.to/2GKtPkv
Candied Ginger: amzn.to/33f0p7M

I like to make the paloma as a spritzer with 2oz of repasado (as its my tequila of choice) .5oz of simple syrup or agave syrup if its on hand 1oz of lime juice fresh squeezed of course 4oz of grapefruit juice And i top the glass with no more than 7oz of seltzer water more often less based on the glass and garnish with a lime wheel. Its fantastic on a hot summer day

I didn't know Pedro Infante had his own Tequila cocktail. Ill have to try it one day. For summer, most Mexicans go to refresher cocktail is definitely the Paloma. Refreshes and tastes awesome. We usually add a little salt.

What are good drinks to mix with tequila?

@paolocamero2251 4 жыл бұрын

La Paloma’s origins that I’m familiar with come from a tradition of taking a shot of tequila and following with a shot of ruby red grapefruit soda. I worked at a Mexican bar with kitchen staff from Jalisco and Oaxaca who both separately provided that same story. Our Paloma was: 1.25oz Blanco Tequila 1oz Grapefruit Juice .75oz Lime Agave syrup Top with Tamarind or Grapefruit Jarritos Soda Serve in a rocks glass with a Tajin rim and slice of grapefruit. Won best cocktail in Mobile, AL last year :)

I’d make it once a year and be let down. Your corrected version gave me insight into why I didn’t like James Bond’s recipe. Your version is on my to do list. Main reason I bring up the Vesper however lol is how much you’ve up’d your game since then. Marius may have a small part in that. Regardless great job.

In your opinion, does reposado vs. silver tequila change the complexity in the cocktail? Thank you and salud!

@joetucker971 Жыл бұрын

Yes, big time, reposado is a lot softer, and the agave flavour doesn't hold up as well in cocktails as Blanco tequila does. The barrel notes from reposado tequila work perfectly in some cocktails like a Tommys margarita or a yellow jacket, but to hold up against the campari in a siesta, for example, Blanco is irreplaceable.
