Cocktail Recipe: Abuela’s Jardin

In Cocktails By

The Abuela’s Jardin is a refreshing cocktail created by Código 1530, featuring their Reposado tequila. The most prominent flavour element of the Abuela’s Jardin is herbal, which is emphasised with the inclusion of Chamomile Turbonado Syrup and bitters. We used the Orange & Mandarin Bitters from Bob’s Bitters which really amped up the flavour. As opposed to the usual blended-bitters, Bob’s Bitters are single flavours, which allow you to really highlight a specific taste and element. The Reposado tequila is based upon the beauty of the Blanco, and aged in hand-charred Napa Valley Cabernet French White Oak barrels for six months. This adds complex tasting notes such as toasted caramel and vanilla. 

The Abuela’s Jardin scores a difficulty of 4/10. The ingredients included are basic and easy to acquire. However, you may choose to make the Chamomile Turbonado Syrup, as opposed to buying it, which requires extra time and effort.

The Negroni is an Italian classic made using gin, however, this cocktail uses the award-winning VIVIR Tequila Blanco instead of gin, hence the name Tequila Negroni. This cocktail is a beautiful balance of herbal, bitter and sweet notes. VIVIR Tequila Blanco brings a clean and zesty taste that pairs well with the additional elements of this well established drink.

The Tequila Negroni has a difficulty score of 2/10 as it only uses three core ingredients and is built in the glass.

Cocktail Recipe: Marble Queen

In Cocktails By

For a refreshing cocktail, we bring you the Marble Queen! This is a blanco tequila based cocktail so we just had to use the award winning VIVIR Tequila Blanco. This cocktail beautifully blends cream of coconut and tequila with the presence of fresh lime juice. The lime juice helps to balance out the sweetness of the cream of coconut whilst giving a citrus kick.

For us, the Marble Queen has a difficulty rating of 4/10. Despite only having three ingredients, we made our own cream of coconut which added an additional few steps to the process. We used Steve the Bartenders recipe, which is really cost effective if you’re making plenty of coconut cocktails!

Cocktail Recipe: Rosa’s Gold Rush

In Cocktails By

Another great cocktail created by Código 1530 is Rosa’s Gold Rush. The ‘Rosa’ in the name pays homage to the tequila used in this cocktail, Código 1530 Rosa. The sharpness of the tequila and lemon juice is balanced out nicely by the sweetness of the fresh tangerine juice and simple syrup. It makes for a pleasant and sweet taste.

 The Rosa’s Gold Rush scores a difficulty of 4/10. The core ingredients are easy to get hold of, however I decided to add edible gold glitter to elevate the drink, which may be more difficult to acquire.

Cocktail Recipe: Skinny Rosa Margarita

In Cocktails By

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.
