It all can’t be margaritas when you pour from a bottle of tequila, and while we have some very good tequila recipes on site, I found the Mi Amor to be an excellent tequila cocktail, and one you could proudly pour now that the weather’s warm. You build this drink in a double rocks glass, so there’s no shakers or pitchers to clean at the end of the night. Leave the fixings out on the counter, or patio table, and you can make them as your guests make their appearances. Rich, frothy, tangy and spicy, this cocktail goes with food, or can hang on its own as just a straight up drink.
Here we go –
- 2 oz tequila
- 1/2 oz creme de cassis
- 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
- ginger beer to fill
In a fat rocks glass that’s filled with ice, pour tequila, cassis, lime juice, then stir. Fill with ginger beer & garnish with a lime wedge. Prepare to make more.
