At some point or another, we’ve all woken up with Hangxiety and regret, flashbacks to drinking shot after shot of Tequila. Tequila can often get a bad rap from alcohol lovers because of its reputation, being thought of as a shot rather than a long serve. I’m here to change that and give you the top mixers for your Tequila, to take you from slamming to sipping!
First things first, the important part of any drink, is you want to make sure the ingredients you are using are good quality, especially when using spirits. For Tequila, this is easy! You just want to look out for Tequila that is 100% Agave and doesn’t have any of those nasty additives lingering (a recipe for a hangover).
