If you’re a fan of classic cocktails and mixed drinks, you’ll likely have a bottle of tequila for cocktail parties and happy hour at home. Tequila is a distilled liquor made from the blue agave plant. Tequila blanco, also called silver tequila, is considered the purest form of tequila because it’s typically bottled directly after distillation. It’s the variety of tequila commonly used in cocktails like margaritas and palomas.
We love margaritas in every form — especially pitcher margaritas for a crowd. While the classic margarita is a timeless favorite, our Mexican margarita showcases agave by using 100% agave tequila and agave nectar. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The Paloma cocktail is a refreshing blend of tequila, grapefruit soda, and lime juice. We also use fresh grapefruit juice to boost the cocktail’s citrusy flavor and pretty pink color. For winter, we have a tart cranberry margarita and a festive cranberry Tequila Sunrise to kick off the holiday season with friends and family.
Whether it’s a hot summer day or a cozy winter evening, there’s a tequila cocktail for every occasion. Here you’ll find our 15 best tequila cocktails that you can sip on any time of the year (not just on Cinco de Mayo!).
