Now that the weather is nicer out, I love making myself tequila drinks to enjoy on my back patio. Here are some of the best tequila drinks to make at home!
Best tequila for mixed drinks?
Blanco, or white tequila, is what I always recommend and use.
blanco tequila
I always recommend using Blanco for traditional margarita recipes, especially this mango margarita. Blanco is not an aged tequila, like Reposado or Añejo, so it allows the fresh fruits of your margarita to be the stars of the show.
resposado tequila
You can absolutely use Reposado for margaritas, but you'll get that richer, aged taste. You'll notice that in these photos I used Reposado tequila, and it is delicious! Reposado tequila is aged for anywhere from two months to a year in barrels prior to being bottled. That's where the golden hue and the richer flavor come from.
añejo tequila
Añejo is tequila that is aged for anywhere from one to three years and is truly made to be sipped on. So, I would recommend not making a margarita with Añejo tequila, and rather pour it over ice and enjoy it straight.
