Cocktail thread: Feeling like tequila

[Attjack]

I saw the sun today and it made me want a tequila cocktail. Here are a few I looked up and one I invented.


First, we have a tequila-based martini.

Tequini

2 1/2 oz. blanco tequila
1/2 oz. dry vermouth
1 dash of aromatic bitters
Olive, or lemon twist, for garnish

Next is a twist on the Cosmopolitan.

Passion Cocktail

1 ounces tequila
1.5 ounces cranberry juice
.5 ounce lime juice
1 splashes brandy-based orange liqueur
Lime slices, for garnish


The name is self-explanatory. I'm looking forward to this one.

Tequila Sour

2 ounces (4 tablespoons) tequila reposado
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) lemon juice
½ ounce (1 tablespoon) lime juice
2 teaspoons agave nectar or simple syrup
2 dashes Angostura bitters
1 egg white*
For the garnish: Cocktail cherry and lime wedge


Finally, here's one I came up with a week or so ago when I wanted something with a little less ABV.

Little Jalisco

1 oz. Repasodo
1/2 oz. Cointreau
1/4 oz. of lime juice
Bar spoon of agave syrup
Soda water

What will you be drinking?

Had a couple margaritas with my late lunch/early dinner…now I’m having a G&T while I talk to the GF and practice a little guitar.

[Attjack]

You must have had a premonition.

[barelfly]

Which guitar??????

[surfdog]

barelfly My Traveler Pro Series Mod X. (What a goofy name.)
That one lives with me when I’m one the road.

That was both better and worse than expected 😂

Tequila Sour

• 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) tequila reposado
• 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) lemon juice
• ½ ounce (1 tablespoon) lime juice
• 2 teaspoons agave nectar or simple syrup
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters
• 1 egg white*

For the garnish: Cocktail cherry and lime wedge


Shake all ingredients without ice first then add ice and shake to chill. Double strain into a cocktail glass.

I may make this for my wife tomorrow! I don’t know if I have lemon juice, but can pick it up. I also couldn’t find agave at the store today, as that is what I use for my margarita concoction, but I can make simple syrup…and also use that for some Old Fashioneds!

Thanks for sharing this!

[Attjack]

You could also just use Cointreau for the sweet component. It's hard to go wrong with Cointreau and tequila.

[barelfly]

I found Agave at Wally World today, but made her another margarita this evening to redeem the overly tart concoction from last night. I’ll make this one at home soon, as I am interested in the addition of the bitters. This recipe though, very close to how i make my margaritas if you take out the bitters and egg white.

That looks really good

At the lake house this weekend, so simple..well, I guess I’m pretty simple on the beverage anyways.

WHen here, the local grocer has a sweet selection of spirits, so I picked up a bottle of Knob Creek 9yr Single Barrel Reserve that is really good! I also grabbed a bottle of some BT, because this is the only place I can find it - and, bonus - it is a store pick barrel! This little grocer is almost like a honey hole



And for the wife, I picked up a bottle of Casamigos Anejo Tequila for margaritas. The last few bottles of I’ve picked up for her, I’ve started to take a sip of the tequila straight and man is it good! Smooth and flavorful…I guess that is what happens when you buy good tequila as well

[Attjack]

I love Casamigos! I would also love to try that knob creek 9.

[barelfly]

The KC 9 is good. Really good. 120 proof gives it a little heat, but it’s really good! Attjack

Keeping with the Tequila theme, A snowy Cabo Wabo Blanco Margarita with a shake or two of Taijin Seasoning

[Attjack]

That looks fantastic.

[Old Glory]

Thanks Attjack I an making wings and was seasoning them with some Taijin and just added it to the drink on a whim. It is pretty good!

[barelfly]

Rimming the glass with Tajin is also good!

[Attjack]

I just finished a tequila mule made with a ginger CBD drink, repasodo, lime juice, and agave syrup.

[Attjack]

No tequila in these.

New York Sour

• 2 oz. rye whiskey or bourbon
• 1 oz. lemon juice
• 3/4 oz. simple syrup
• 1 egg white (or substitute)
• 1/2 oz. red wine

Combine all except the red wine in a shaker without ice and shake. Add ice and shake again. Strain into a rocks glass and float the red wine on top.

[barelfly]

Did you like these? They look cool!

[Attjack]

Yes, this is a very good cocktail. Easily 4/5 stars.

....what is this word, sun, you speak of....

[Jfrosty27]

No kidding…

[Attjack]

I did not understand at first but then a distant memory came into focus. Today it happened again there isn't a cloud in sky.
