The margarita is one of the most popular tequila-based cocktails. The Skinny Rosa Margarita is a refreshing cocktail created by Código 1530, featuring their Rosa tequila. One flavour element of the Código 1530 Rosa tequila is citrus, which is emphasised with the inclusion of fresh lime and orange juice. The drink is topped up with club soda, which provides a fresh and slightly salty taste, very typical of a classic margarita. Furthermore, adding salt on the rim of the glass will amplify the fresh lime juice and ease the tequila’s sharpness.

The Skinny Rosa Margarita scores a difficulty of 4/10. The ingredients included are basic and easy to acquire. However, the addition of a salted rim results in an extra step and a new technique for those beginning their cocktail journey.

If you’re looking for a bitter cocktail, the Rosa Martini created by Código 1530 is for you. The ‘Rosa’ in Rosa Martini pays homage to the tequila used in this cocktail, Código 1530 Rosa.

The addition of bitters ensures the natural bitter aftertaste of the grapefruit juice is emphasised throughout very sip. Overall, this is a very mature cocktail.

The Rosa Martini cocktail scores a difficulty of 2/10. With only three core ingredients it is very simple to make but doesn’t compromise on the taste.

The Guy of Warwick is another example of a great cocktail featuring Ikoyi Chapmans, a unique West African inspired mixer. Its name stems from a town in England called Warwick, which is where the mixer company is based. The mix of cucumber, orange and lime from the Ikoyi Chapmans, along with the squeeze of lemon juice, creates an exciting drink that harmonises well with the spiced rum and the vibrant orange colouring.

The Guy of Warwick is even easier to make than the Mayor of Warwick, at 2/10 in difficulty as it only has three ingredients (two of which you most likely have already). Therefore, it’s a great cocktail to make if you are just starting out on your cocktail journey or if you’re looking to make a refreshing cocktail for a group of friends.
