Tequila Blue Head

Tequila is very versatile, and you can drink it in many ways. Aged tequilas are often sipped straight or on the rocks. Blanco tequilas are popularly used in tequila shots, drunk either straight with lemon and salt or with mixers.

Any tequila, especially blancos and reposados, are excellent in mixed drinks. Margaritas are the most famous tequila cocktails. They range from the original lime margarita to an array of fruity flavors and are either shaken or blended. Tequila's a great match for nearly any fruit (particularly citrus) and a fun base for spicy cocktails.

You'll find also find drier martini-style tequila cocktails, tall and refreshing soda or juice highballs, and even a few sweet or creamy tequila recipes.

Tequila is an excellent pairing for Mexican and Tex-Mex food, and tequila cocktails make a nice addition to barbecues and summer parties.
