3 Different & Creative Tequila Cocktail Recipes

Are you a tequila lover who is looking for something other than a margarita to use your favorite spirit for a good cocktail?

Something a little more exciting than, say, a Tequila Sunrise?

Then check out these three creative and different recipes. They all use 1800 Añejo Tequila, which is a dark, amber spirit with an oaky vanilla aroma, nutty with toffee flavor and a peppery spice finish.

These are best paired with meals, the first for breakfast/brunch, the second for lunch ad the third with dinner. Then again, you can just have them whenever you’re in the mood for a good, different tequila drink.

1800 Añejo is available at ReserveBar for $43.00 USD.
