Stay calm and drink tequila
Trips11/07/2017Visiting Mexico and not enjoying a "Good Tequila" is like never having come to Mexico at all. For a long time, this drink has been an icon of the country, making it the most important ambassador around the world.
In many places in Mexico, it is the perfect excuse to get together with friends to share anecdotes, plan the next adventure, or simply enjoy mariachi music while sipping on a "caballito de tequila". It can also be the ideal appetizer or the best companion for post-meal conversation.
Contrary to what many people think, tequila should be taken calmly. Some say it should be sipped "like kisses," meaning in small sips to properly taste its flavor. But modern culture invites you to drink it quickly, accompanied by lime and salt so you don't feel like it "burns."
In the end, everyone has their own preferences and everyone enjoys tequila with whatever companion they desire. At Hoteles Solaris de México, we have options for all our guests, from the traditional ones who like to drink tequila straight, to those who like to have something in a cocktail. And for that reason, we have our top cocktails that contain tequila.
Margarita Undoubtedly a tequila classic, the Margarita is a cocktail made of tequila and lime juice, often served with salt or sugar on the rim of the glass. It is slightly sweet but refreshing, and excellent for these sunny days. |
Tequila Sunrise This drink originated in Sausalito, California, in the early 60s. The cocktail gets its name from its appearance when served, with color gradations that resemble a sunrise. |
Paloma This tequila classic (and a favorite of many) is prepared by mixing tequila with grapefruit-flavored soda and served on the rocks with a lime wedge. Like the margarita, this drink can also be "rimmed" with salt. |
Vampiro The Vampiro has a fruity, slightly spicy flavor. If you like Margaritas and want a spicy kick, you will love the Vampiros! |
Undoubtedly, the best way to drink it is surrounded by friends and with the intention of having fun.
This summer goes perfectly with the sun, sand, sea, and... ¡Tequila!
