Summertime
Tequila Cocktails
By FBWorld Team
Summer
is the perfect season for Tequila (and National Tequila
Day is 7/24). So to help you savory the long, warm days,
here are a couple cocktail recipes featuring Blue Nectar
Tequila in re-imagined seasonal classics.
While
the Blackberry Bramble is traditionally made with gin,
bourbon is often used instead for a deeper flavor. Blue
Nectar Reposado is the perfect alternative with its smooth,
light oak wood character.
Blackberry
Blue Nectar® Bramble
Ingredients:
2 oz. Blue Nectar Reposado
3/4 oz. Lemon Juice
1 tsp. Simple Syrup
1/2 oz. Blackberry Liqueur
3-5 Blackberries as garnish
Crushed Ice
Procedures:
Place all liquid ingredients into a tumbler filled with
crushed ice and stir well. Garnish with blackberries.
The
Moscow Mule is a refreshing vodka cocktail, though the
peppery notes of Blue Nectar Silver make a perfect complement
to the spicy ginger beer and smoky Mezcal float.

York City
