The Tequila Pink cocktail is mildly sweet with herbal hints. Unlike some tequila cocktails, this one isn’t improved much by a better tequila, so feel free to use something less than top shelf.
Don’t let the smoothness of this one fool you; it’s a strong drink masked by the mellow cherry flavor of the grenadine. This one’s fun to enjoy anytime, but there’s something about it that invokes a feeling of summer even in the midst of winter.
Recipe
- 2 ounces tequila
- 1 ounce dry vermouth
- 3 dashes grenadine
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add ingredients. Shake until chilled, and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a cherry.
