When you are someone who loves experimenting and enjoying tequila, there might come a time when you wonder what you should mix with
Reposado tequila. Here, Reposado means “rested” which means that this tequila has been rested in wooden barrels for anywhere between two months and a year. It usually comes in a softened, amber color and feels a bit woodier with spicy notes of pepper and hints of vanilla and cinnamon in flavor.
Today, we are going to help you experiment with your Reposado tequila by revealing the best mixers. So, if you are eager to know what you can mix with your Reposado tequila, keep reading till the end.
- Grapefruit Soda
In Mexico, a lot of people like to drink their tequila after mixing it with grapefruit soda. Goes with the name of Paloma, this cocktail tastes somewhat citrusy and subtly bitter. While you can mix grapefruit soda with Blanco tequila as well, mixing it with Reposado tequila will make it richer and nastier. To garnish this cocktail, you can use a broad wedge of lime with a pinch of sea salt.
- Pineapple Juice
If you love pineapple, you are going to love mixing its juice with tequila. Why? It’s because when you drink this mixture, you will feel like pineapple juice and tequila are soul mates. When mixed together, their vibrantly tropical fruit-enriched flavor makes this cocktail a great drink. Though you can try it with canned pineapple juice, fresh pineapple juice with tequila makes the brightest and tartest drink.
- Orange Juice
Do you like the sweet-sour taste of orange juice? If yes, then why don’t you mix it with your Reposado tequila? It will act as your perfect breakfast beverage and taste even better than its vodka-based variant. No matter if you are using fresh orange juice or bottled one, this beverage will always feel refreshing, light, and pleasant to drink. Just make sure that if you use fresh orange juice, you whip air into it with a whisk or via a high-speed citrus juicer. It will make the cocktail fluffy, creamy, and quaffable.
- Agave Syrup
Okay, we know you might raise your eyebrow with this option because tequila is itself made from blue agave. Just try mixing agave syrup with your Reposado tequila and you will be able to taste tequila drink old-fashioned without bitterness. To do this, you only need a mixing glass, bar spoon, tray of ice, agave syrup, and a bottle of Dos Alas Reposado Tequila. Just mix these two ingredients together and put some ice in it. While you can also use Blanco for it, you should prefer Reposado or Anejo that has more depth, richness, and flavor.
- Soda
Well, this is the golden standard for a tequila cocktail with two ingredients. Except for margarita, tequila + soda is probably the most popular cocktail among tequila lovers. While any soda is good for this cocktail, we recommend using a seltzer that comes with high mineral content or with added salt. In the end, squeeze a wedge of citruses like lime, grapefruit, or orange into the cocktail. Voila! You have your savory cocktail.
We hope you liked these combinations and make the best out of your
Reposado tequila.
