Fancy a tequila? What about a fancy tequila cocktail that’s surprisingly simple to make? Good, that’s what we’re here for.
If you’ve ever wondered what tequila is actually made of, it comes from the Weber blue agave plant. Fermentable sugars are extracted from the core of the plant, and that sugary juice is then combined with yeast. That’s it.
There’s a real knack to pairing tequila with food, and it all starts with knowing the difference between the Blanco, Reposado and Aňejo styles.
Cazcabel has developed a world of flavours with its range of tequilas, and now they made it easy to harness those flavours with some classy cocktails.
These tequila cocktails may look fancy (perfect for impressing guests) but they’re pretty easy to pull off. So let’s get started!
