Besides margarita mix, what is a good mixer with tequila?
Over the years, I’ve adopted the philosophy that you should use fresh ingredients whenever possible. The margarita is a perfect example of a cocktail that tastes better if you use fresh ingredients. Most sours mixes are basically water, sugar, lemon juice concentrate, lime juice concentrate, and preservatives. A lot of them don’t taste very good. Recently, I discussed a cocktail called The St-Rita. This particular drink uses fresh lime juice instead of commercial sours mix. The combination of fresh lime juice and St-Germain is far more refreshing than sours mix. I’m sure that you’ll enjoy it. Here’s the recipe again: 1 1/2 shot of Tequila Blanco, 1 1/2 of St-Germain, and 1/2 shot of fresh-squeezed lime juice. Shake all of the ingredients with ice and strain into an ice-filled rocks glass or alternatively strain into a chilled martini glass. Once you’ve tried this cocktail, you will never go back to prepackaged sours mix.
