Recipe Puesta De Sol H

Puesta de Sol

In Spanish, puesta de sol (or puesta del sol) means “sunset,” which is the inspiration for this drink. Cousin to the tequila sunrise, the tequila sunset typically features grapefruit rather than orange. However, this Puesta de Sol recipe features unique ingredients, including turmeric and orange blossom water.

Blood Orange Drinks

Blood Orange Paloma

While the traditional paloma features grapefruit, blood orange is the star of the show in this variation. If you love a bubbly, citrus-y tequila cocktail, this Blood Orange Paloma may be right for you. Light and airy with sparkling blood orange water, this cocktail can optionally be offset by a chili lime seasoning rim.

Cranberry Mezcal Madras

Though this recipe features mezcal rather than tequila, we couldn’t resist adding it to the list. After all, tequila is a type of mezcal. This cocktail recipe features Casamigos Mezcal, cranberry juice, sweet orange liqueur and fresh pressed lime juice for a mezcal take on a usually vodka-forward drink. The result is a smoky and sweet cocktail somewhere between a margarita and a madras.
