Mixology Monday - Tequila! at My Bar, Your Bar

Mixology Monday - Tequila!

Published by Matt May 4th, 2007

Saints preserve us…it’s time for Mixology Monday again! Thanks to everyone in the cocktail blogosphere, My Bar, Your Bar has the honor of hosting this month’s event. The theme: Tequila! And why not? May has Cinco de Mayo where everyone gets hammered on tequila shots, margaritas, and cheap Mexican beer. So gang, it’s up to us to bring a little class (or not) to this under appreciated liquor and show the world what the possibilities are. I think we can do better than a lime wedge and pinch of salt, no?

Post your entries in the comment section to this post and I’ll try and get them all compiled by Tuesday evening. Saddle up my sombreros (yes, I just called everyone a “Mexican hat”)…let’s see what cha got!

We’re early, as usual. But we’ll have another on (or closer to) the actual date. Here’s the Prado: http://marriedwithdinner.com/archives/740

Not the most original offering, but very tasty…..

Silver Amour-a-rita:

1 part fresh lime
2 parts Parfait Amour
3 parts Silver Tequila (I like Milagro Silver)

Shake hard with crasked ice and strain into a cocktial glass. Garnish with a very thin slice of orange.

Hi there. I don’t have a cocktail blog, but i’ve noticed two classic standouts have not been posted and wanted to throw them in the mix (sorry ’bout the pun) so they can be represented.

La Rosita (sometimes just called Rosita)

1 1/2 oz tequilla (I use a reposado at my bar)
1/2 oz dry vermouth
1/2 oz sweet vermouth
1/2 oz Campari

Stir, serve in a chilled cocktail glass
(I’ve also seen a dash of bitters and lemon twist garnish, but I personally don’t use them)

And one I’m surprised hasn’t made it in since it’s so popular in Mexico…

The Paloma

3 oz fresh grapefruit juice
1/2 oz fresh lime juice
2 oz silver tequilla

Shake, strain into ice-filled highball glass
Top with Sprite, garnish with a lime wedge

Nice to see so many cool tequilla cocktails, gonna have to pilfer a few and try them out on my regulars…

Thanks
