Tequila Suave CocktailIngredients:

  • 50ml tequila
  • 15ml lemon juice
  • 5ml white creme de cacao
  • 5ml grenadine
  • dash of bitters

Instructions:

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. You’re supposed to garnish it with a maraschino cherry & slice of orange, but I don’t really like maraschino cherries and didn’t have any oranges so used lemon instead.

The taste is very … interesting. The tequila dominates and combines well with the lemon, but you can still taste the chocolatey flavour of the creme de cacao and the herby/spicy bitters. The grenadine may have added a bit of sweetness but mostly seems to add colour. I sipped this very slowly over more than an hour and found that it seemed to taste better after time. I think I’ll have to try it again though, it was an interesting set of flavours.
