Sauza Tequila Gold

"Double distilled for a smoother, more mellow character, Sauza Gold tequila is a taste of the unexpected. Its fresh agave flavor is clean and crisp with hints of sweet caramel and oaky softness; enjoy it straight as a cold shold, or discover how it lends its unique character to your favorite tequila cocktails."

This tequila works very well in Margaritas.
  • 4 cL tequila (Sauza Gold)
  • 2 cL freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 cL triple sec (Cointreau)
Shake hard the ingredients with ice. Strain into a half salt-rime cocktail glass.

I don't like when the glass is rimmed with a thick crust of salt. I prefer adding a thin layer of salt on just half of the rim so that I can alternate between a little bit of salt with a mouthfull of margarita and no salt at all.

40% ABV. Read more on Sauza website.

Adnams' Explorer Chilled

"Adnams Explorer Chilled captures the spirit of discovery by blending Chinook and Columbus hops from the New World. Still brewed on the Suffolk coast, only with hops from another. Adnams Explorer Chilled is a light, refreshing blonde beer, suffused with the aromas of a grapefruit grove. The citrus attack with burst on your palate. Fantastic served chilled."
