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.
The Paloma is a fresh cocktail featuring the award winning VIVIR Tequila Blanco! This delightful cocktail is perfect for a hot summer day. By blending fresh lime juice and pink grapefruit juice it gives an energizing experience, with the sweetness of agave nectar used to control the bitterness of the grapefruit juice. Agave nectar is often used in cocktails as a natural sweetener. It harmonises perfectly with the tequila, as both are agave based products.
For us, the Paloma has a difficulty rating of 4/10. Whilst only having a handful of ingredients and a straightforward process, the agave nectar may be difficult for some to source. You may want to substitute the agave nectar for honey or simple syrup.
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!
