Tips for Making Great Tequila Cocktails 

To elevate your tequila cocktails, always opt for fresh ingredients. Fresh citrus juice (lime, lemon, or grapefruit) can transform a drink, offering a brightness that bottled juices simply can’t match. When possible, muddle fresh herbs like basil or mint to release their full flavor profile.

Proper measuring is key to maintaining balance in your cocktails. Invest in a jigger to ensure you’re using the right proportions. Too much of one ingredient can overpower the tequila, while too little can leave the drink flat.

Finally, serving matters just as much as the mix. Choose the right glassware to complement the drink—coupes or rocks glasses for sipping, highballs for refreshing fizzes. Garnish thoughtfully: a fresh herb sprig, citrus peel twist, or a slice of chili can elevate the drink visually and aromatically.

By focusing on quality ingredients, accurate measurements, and a little attention to detail, you’ll craft tequila cocktails that impress every time.
