spray of the sea. The drink is refreshing and easy to make, an ideal knock-up
for an impromptu beach gathering!

Dare
the devil with the Matador, Silver tequila in a champagne flute!

of the most popular tequila-based cocktails, The Matador is composed of three
primary ingredients, Lime juice, pineapple juice and a shot of Blanco or Silver
Tequila. Matadors are presented in a cocktail or martini glass or in a
champagne flute, making for a unique visual appeal. Since pineapple has a
naturally sweet flavour, no additional sweeteners are added to the Matador.
Earthquake
Shake
'em strong! Tequila, strawberry, grenadine and orange bitters combine to give
you a delicious toss up!
A
very catchy name for a cocktail, the Earthquake is a Tequila based drink
with crushed ice, strawberries, Grenadine and Orange bitters. The
ingredients are combined in a blender for about thirty seconds, strained and
served with a slice of lime and strawberry. The drink is very potent and is
normally served in sophisticated establishments like Five Star hotels and
premier Pubs.
Pepino
Earthy
ambrosia? Try nectar with tequila and tranquil cucumbers for a 'heavenly'
drink!
Pepino
is one of the lesser known tequila based drinks. This liquor serving is made
with an unusual combination of cucumber, agave nectar, a spot of basil,
Cointreau, pineapple juice, tequila and fresh lime. The ingredients are given a
good shake to allow them to blend well and served on the rocks in a tall glass.
The Pepino is great for a pool party. Cucumber and basil lend a pleasant aroma
and fresh flavor while the orange and pineapple give the Pepino a fruity twist,
making for an enjoyable drink.
Tequila Slammer
Wham
n Slam! Bottoms Up with Tequila and 7Up!
The
Tequila Slammer or the Muppet as it is called in Mexico, is a potent cocktail
served on the rocks on a tall glass. The Slammer is made with equal parts
Tequila and Carbonated beverage, often 7 Up, Ginger Ale, Mountain Dew or
lemonade. The cocktail gets its very interesting name from the way it is
consumed, leaving about a fifth of the glass empty, allowing the drink to fizz
well, and slamming the glass onto a hard surface to mix the drink well! A very
unusual yet entertaining procedure, the Slammer must be consumed immediately
after slamming!
Brave Bull
Test
your mettle with this Kalhua based Tequila knockout!
A
very macho drink, the Brave Bull is on the darker side, more potent with
Tequila. The cocktail has very little fruit juice but pairs instead with an
interesting complement, coffee. Coffee has a unique quality that imparts an
interesting flavor to most combinations with the beverage. The dark, rich
flavor of coffee works wonderfully with the smooth texture of Tequila, making
for an enjoyable drink. The cocktail is made of Tequila and Kalhua on the
rocks, creating a dark hue and thick, smooth texture for the cocktail.
Bloody Maria or
The Vampiro
Looking
for a nocturnal swill? Bloody Mary is your man!
Something
that would go down as a great Halloween drink, the Bloody Maria surprisingly is
great for a hangover! The spooky Vampiro is made of two shots of Tequila in
tomato juice, with a generous measure of Worcestershire sauce and a dash of
lemon juice. Salt and pepper brink out the flavour of this Bloody drink!

gentleman's drink!
A
gentleman's drink, Juan Collins is made with a shot of tequila, club soda, a
dash of sugar and lemon juice. The drink is served in a tall glass on the
rocks, garnished with a wedge of lemon. Juan Collins works well as liquor

complements most cuisines.

hues, smooth as honey and warm textures with tequila, grenadine and orange
juice!
