Whether you’re a longtime tequila cocktail lover or new to the tequila scene, we’ve compiled a list of ten tequila cocktails ranging from classic to innovative for you to choose from. With these easy-to-make recipes, you’ll be whipping up high quality cocktails at home in no time.
Tequila Sour
A riff on the better-known whiskey sour, this tequila sour features habanero-infused reposado tequila for a spicy flavor experience. You won’t want to miss this frothy sour and spicy drink.
Casa Paloma
Inspired by Casamigos premium tequila, the Casa Paloma is an extra-fresh take on the most popular tequila drink in Mexico. This grapefruit-based cocktail has a light, refreshing taste with hints of lime and salt. Fresh grapefruit juice keeps things tart, while sparkling grapefruit water makes it sweet and bubbly.
Reposado cold brew
The perfect drink for the tequila lover who is also a coffee lover. This tequila cold brew recipe is made with reposado tequila and strong coffee for a vibrant flavor experience. With only three ingredients, you can make it at home.
Danny Ocean
This Hollywood-inspired drink features Casamigos Reposado and vibrant citrus flavors. Named for a famous titular film character, this cocktail pays homage to Casamigos co-founder George Clooney and his role an iconic heist film.
Turmericana
The Turmericana features turmeric, a bright yellow South Asian spice known for its flavor. With the addition of blanco tequila, ginger honey syrup and other flavorful ingredients, this tequila cocktail provides a truly unique flavor experience.
Tequila Pineapple
This cocktail is made with cristalino tequila, a unique, relatively new type of tequila created by filtering añejo. Paired with sweet, tropical pineapple juice and a splash of soda, this bubbly drink is refreshing-tasting and perfect for summer, the beach, or just sipping at home.
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.
