Experience Smooth Sippin' Tequila - Savor the Sip ๐Ÿ’ก

Tequila, a rich spirit born in Mexico, has a unique taste that can sometimes be a bit harsh on the throat, especially for those not used to it. But fear not, there are several ways to make tequila smoother and more enjoyable to drink. Here are some tips on how to make tequila smoother on your throat.

Unveiling the Secret: Picking the Best Tequila for Smooth Drinking ๐Ÿฅƒ

First and foremost, the quality of the tequila you choose plays a significant role in how smooth it will be. The best tequila for smooth drinking is typically 100% agave tequila, which is made purely from the sap of the blue agave plant. This type of tequila tends to be smoother and richer in flavor compared to mixto tequilas. For more insights on the ingredients that make the best tequila, check out our Tequila 101 article.

  5. Slowly pour 1 oz of grenadine syrup into the glass.
  6. Let the grenadine settle at the bottom to create a sunrise effect.
  7. Garnish the drink with a cherry or an orange slice.

Notes

The grenadine syrup is denser than the rest of the drink, which is why it sinks to the bottom, creating the beautiful sunrise effect. For best results, pour it slowly down the side of the glass.
