29 Tequila Cocktails to Give Your Signature Margarita Some Competition
If the only tequila drinks you’ve had have all been margaritas, then you might be ready to try some other tequila cocktail recipes. A good bottle of tequila will have herbal, peppery flavors that will be bright and fresh (if it's a blanco) or slightly mellowed and creamy (if it's reposado tequila or añejo). You can think of tequila as a botanical spirit like gin, but all that botanical flavor comes naturally out of the agave plant itself. Which is to say: The good stuff deserves a good cocktail. Below you’ll find a few of our favorite tequila drinks, including boozy stirred options and refreshing frozen drinks, easy highballs, and yes, more than one spin on the marg you know and love. Get your cocktail shaker ready.
