Making A Splash With The Right Cocktails

Posted

(NAPSA)—If you’re looking for a cocktail to help shake things up at your next get-together, you may want to try a centuries-old favorite. From the heart of Mexico to hands of connoisseurs around the globe, few spirits have sustained the long journey to fame quite like tequila. And while many know tequila as the key ingredient in the classic Margarita, few are aware that this authentic spirit mixes a world of great-tasting cocktails. For instance, one of Mexico’s favorite tequilas—and a growing favorite in the U.S.—called Cazadores, offers premium tequila made with 100 percent pure Blue Agave. Cazadores can be served neat, on the rocksor with a simple accompaniment of lime or authentic sangrita—a blend of citrus or tomato juices andspices. The tequila also gives at-home mixologists a variety of options, ranging from traditional cocktails to more contemporary mixes. The Tequila Sunrise of yesterday is now joined by Tequila Cosmopolitans, Tequila Mojito cocktails and Tequila Martini cocktails. And while the Margarita is still beloved, it is clear that tequila’s journey to the top has only just begun.
