I’m having a spicy margarita, one of my favorite variations on one of my favorite drinks. Actually with a splash of tepache, even better.
My hands down favorite is classic:
2oz tequila (any that I like)
1oz cognac based orange liqueur
1 oz lime
This one is same but half orange liqueur, half Ancho Reyes, I also really like it with Chinola Passionfruit instead of orange.


This week, I’ve been drinking Margaritas with grapefruit juice instead of lime and reposado instead of blanco tequila. Arguably it’s not a Margarita anymore with those specs, but whatever. Very tasty! Honestly, regular Margaritas are a little too sour and a little too intensely tequila for me.
If you can get Jarritos soda, the grapefruit makes a glorious Paloma, I have to add lime because it’s too sweet for me but I really like it.
Also mezcal, grapefruit, and rosemary.
Grapefruit soda is hard to get here, unfortunately …
