We were provided with a bottle of Jose Cuervo Tradicional Tequila to make these drinks. YUM!
I’ve been feeling a little tropical lately
It’s summer, it’s hot, and it’s…HOT (yes, I said it twice). When I saw on my calendar that it was National Tequila Day I thought what better way to celebrate than with a cold drink tonight as I watch the sunset over the pool with a great tropical margarita made with the Father of Tequila – Jose Cuervo Tradicional, the original 100% Blue Agave Tequila.
Zippy’s Mad For Mango Margarita
- 2 oz Jose Cuervo Tradicional Silver Tequila
- 1 oz Cointreau
- 2 oz Mango NECTAR (I like this better than mango juice)
- Juice of one lime
Put ice in a cocktail shaker. Add all of the ingredients. Shake well. Strain and pour into a margarita glass. Garnish with lime. NOTE: I do not like salt on my glass. If you do, simply rim the glass first with some lime, then dip into coarse salt. You can enjoy this on the rocks as well.
Jose Cuervo Tradicional is just as flavorful as it is timeless: the Silver expression offers refreshing flavors, with notes of spicy, sweet, green apple and just a hint of baked raisins. Enjoy chilled in a crisp, smooth shot or in a well-crafted cocktail like the Paloma.
