Hemingway Daiquiri

This recipe makes a drink--which, just to make things even more confusing, is also known as a Daiquiri No. 3--that is much less tart than the citrus bombs the Floridita was serving, and with a potency that's more likely to put you in a pleasant mood on a late-summer day than to steer you into a long, grisly night that ends with you waking up on a fishing boat drifting somewhere south of Key West.

Paloma

You've heard of the margarita; get to know Mexico's other staple tequila drink.

The Two-One-Two

Created by New York bartender and consultant Willy Shine, the Two-One-Two is brilliantly simple, yet has an engagingly complex flavor. Composed of a base of reposado tequila—Partida, one of the better brands to emerge in recent years, is recommended here—the Two-One-Two includes a couple of the agave spirit's most agreeable companions: fresh grapefruit juice, and the Italian amaro Aperol, a bright, bitter liqueur rich with orange peel and rhubarb.

Grapefruit, Lime, and Tequila (Paloma) Sorbet

Tart and sweet with a tequila kick: the classic Mexican cocktail in sorbet form.

Tequila and Campari With Tangerine

Tequila works surprisingly well with the bitter flavors of Campari in this easy pitcher cocktail. Añejo tequila complements the bright, sunny tangerine juice in the mix.

Campari Sanguinea

When warm days are chased by chilly evening breezes, I crave autumnal things like nubby sweaters, terra cotta earth tones, and crisp glasses of pomegranate juice with a splash of delightfully bitter Campari. To lighten things up for brunch, a little grapefruit juice does the trick.

Daiquiri

Rum, lime, and sugar define the classic daiquiri; no garishly-colored slushies, please.

Grapefruit Sangrita With Chipotle and Honey

Smoke and spice add depth to bitter grapefruit in this complex sangrita, the ideal sipping partner for a good tequila.

Tequila Sunrise

Tequila Sunrise! Made with tequila, orange juice, and grenadine syrup which provides the red colour in this Tequila Cocktail, this screams of summer!!

Hibiscus-Tequila Cooler

A cocktail in a pitcher means more time outside relaxing and less time inside making drinks. Hibiscus gives this tequila drink a tart and floral flavor and a gorgeous color.
