Which Tequila Cocktails Can You Easily Make at Home?
Tequila is a Mexican spirit that is enjoyed all over the world. It is a popular drink, and there are many cocktails out there to be enjoyed with tequila. There are four main classification of tequila – Blanco, Reposado, Anejo, and Extra Anejo. The difference between them comes down to aging. Today, we’ll talk about Blanco and Reposado tequila, as both of them are widely used in cocktails. Reposado Tequila: Reposado means “rested” in Spanish. This tequila spends less time (2 months) in the barrel to achieve optimal character. This improves and softens the taste and aroma of the tequila. The result is a smooth, light amber Reposado with hints of dry fruit, vanilla, and spices with a finish of oak and wood. Blanco Tequila: Blanco tequila has a crisp, herbal aroma and a robust taste of fresh agave, herbs, and a hint of pepper. It is best for light, citrus cocktails like Margaritas and Palomas. Because of its clarity and flavor profile, Blanco is ideal for vibrant, fruit-forward drink recipes.
