When you’re looking for Mexican restaurants that make great tequila cocktails, you need to visit Los Primos. A tequila cocktail is the perfect accompaniment to some great Mexican food, and you’ll find both at Los Primos.
Looking for a good drink to enjoy at your favorite Mexican restaurants? Here are three tequila cocktails to try.
Classic Margarita
Ingredients:
- Blanco tequila
- Triple sec
- Lime juice
- Salt for the rim
The Margarita may very well be the classic tequila cocktail. While there are many variations and flavors, the classic lime is hard to beat. The smooth, clean taste of blanco tequila blends with the citrus flavors of triple sec and lime juice. The salt rim is more than an aesthetic addition, it also keeps the drink from being too sweet. Unless, of course, you prefer it sweet. In that case, rimming the glass with sugar or adding agave syrup are variations that will appeal.
Tequila Sunrise
Ingredients:
- Blanco tequila
- Orange juice
- Grenadine
- Cherry and orange slice for garnish
The Tequila Sunrise is a cocktail that’s as pleasing to look at as it is to drink. Grenadine is denser than tequila and orange juice, so it sinks to the bottom to create a striking visual effect. Once again, the bright notes from blanco tequila blend with the sweet, vibrant citrus flavor of orange juice. This cocktail became famous when The Rolling Stones ordered it on their US tour in 1972, so you can feel like a rockstar while you sip your drink.
Ranch Water
Ingredients:
- Blanco tequila
- Lime juice
- Sparkling mineral water
Unless you’ve spent some time in West Texas, you may not have heard of this simple yet refreshing cocktail. Although Ranch Water is similar to a tequila soda with lime, using sparkling mineral water adds a subtle complexity to the drink. The traditional brand to use is Topo Chico, but another brand or even club soda will work as well, as long as you don’t tell your Texan friends.
