When we received the bottle of Familia Camarena Tequila and associated goodies for a review, the first thing I heard was my husband yelling "Shots!" from across the room. "Here we go again" I immediately thought. But truth be told, he had grabbed the super original "Craft Cocktail" recipe book out in a jiffy and had started to thumb through it. After he had moved onto exploring the included mixology tools, I picked it up and was excited to see that they appeared to include a cocktail for every occasion! Taco Tuesday, Girls Night Out, Brunch, and of course Cinco de Mayo.
Ultimately, since it was a nice and balmy day here in Colorado, we settled on a Refreshing Sipper called the "Tall Tale" which seemed like it would go perfectly with our proposed grilling for the afternoon.
Tall Tale Cocktail
2 oz Camarena Silver Tequila
1 oz Lemon Juice
1/2 oz Agave Nectar
2 Cucumber Wheels
2 Blackberries
2 oz Ginger Beer
Directions:
Muddle cucumber and blackberries in a shaker. Add tequila, lemon juice, agave nectar, and ice. Shake and strain into a tall glass with ice. Top with ginger beer and stir. Garnish with a cucumber wheel.
I’m here to tell you that this is indeed a refreshing, tasty, and a nice complement of flavors for your backyard BBQ. The Camarena Silver Tequila is definitely delicious and I’m excited to continue to sample the various mixed drinks in the provided recipe book.
