Tips for Making the BEST Cocktails

• Chill your glasses ahead of time to help ensure the cocktail remains cool to the very last sip.
• Choose premium liquors for the best results. You don’t need to reach for the top shelf but at least avoid scraping the bottom of the barrel.
• We used a sugar and lime zest rim, but feel free to rim your glass as desired.
• Enjoy your cocktail and don’t forget to drink responsibly. Cheers!

Ingredients & Substitutions

Tequila – Vodka or white rum can work in place of tequila, though the flavor will be different. For a non-alcoholic version, use agave syrup or omit entirely and increase the limeade concentrate.

Triple sec – Any orange-flavored liqueur, such as Cointreau or Grand Marnier. For a non-alcoholic option, you can use orange juice concentrate or a bit of orange extract.

Strawberries – Fresh strawberries can be used if you have them on hand. If using fresh, you will need to use more ice to get a frozen slushie. Alternatively, you can use frozen mixed berries or even frozen fruit like peaches or mangoes for a different flavor twist.

Limeade concentrate – Fresh lime juice with added sugar or simple syrup to match the sweetness of the concentrate. You could also use lemonade concentrate for a slightly different flavor.

Simple syrup – Honey, agave syrup, or maple syrup can be used in place of simple syrup, though these will add a different flavor. You can also make your own simple syrup by dissolving equal parts sugar and water.
