I love how versatile tequila is. I like to get creative. Adjust amounts to suit your taste. Reposado, lemon juice, Aperol, cherry bitters, margarita bitters, cran cherry, serve in glass rimmed with Halo del Santo. Cheers!
It can be quite versatile.
The best non margarita cocktail: Ranch Water. Well, I guess it's more of a well drink? All the same, I'm watching this 12 hours after it was posted, and in 4 hours it will be National Ranch Water Day. Which is why I'm watching tequila videos, lol.... but i could go for this Los Altos!
Where I live, pineapple and rum based cocktails rule, and its hard to find good tequila. I REALLY like these pineapple tequila ideas. Pina, pineapple, things that just make sense together. Thanks for a great video!
Hey Lui, been meaning to share this, it is a marg, but my fav, Rhubarb marg. Got it from Bourbon Moth Woodworking on CZcams. Make a simple syrup of equal parts of rhubard (peeled and diced into squares), water, and sugar. Like 1 cup of each. Simmer that for 15-20 minutes to break down rhubarb, then let sit for 10-15 minutes, strain into a mason jar or one of your fancy bottles. Then just make a marg, 2 oz tequila, 1/2 oz orange liqueur, 1-1.5 oz lime juice, 2 oz rhubarb simple syrup.
I can't wait to try these out at work. The wedding guests are gonna be in for a wild time with all these different flavors!
Yes! I love that. I'm sure theyll love these
Great glass for the Matador! Nice video, some good looking drinks!
Thanks friend! Got it at an antique shop years ago
Great stuff Lui. Cheers/Salud!!
Thank you my friend. Really appreciate that. Hope you liked the video
Hey Lui, what are your specs for an Italian margarita? I really enjoy your videos, keep em coming !
I'm not much of a drinker so I've had a bottle sitting in my cabinet for awhile. I'm looking forward to trying some of these out!
Can’t wait to try those recipes out ❤😊🎉🍹🍸
Let me know what you think 😁🙏🏼
Lui crushes the "5 tasty tequila cocktails that are not a Margarita" challenge. Master stroke to close with a two-Mexicans and an Italian party starter. Well done Lui. And major bonus points for mixing with top shelf Cazcanes.
Thanks my friend! 😁 Happy you enjoyed this one.
They look great! Where'd you get the chouggo nick and nora glasses? Thanks.
Great video, thanks for some nice new recipes. I've made the Los Altos a few months back and it was definetly one of the better tasting tequila/mezcal drinks for me, who is not a huge fan of either.
Happy you like that one. It's one of my absolute favorites
Have to try these!!!
Let me know what you think if you do!
can you do a video of how you make your freshly squeezed juices and purees?
I love your videos but I haven't seen your review on Adictivo... have you tried it?
Great video. Now it's time to find out if these cocktails are better than a classic margarita (which is one of the great cocktails).
Very true! Let me know your verdict if you give them a shot
Excellent collection of cocktails here, Lui! I don’t make enough stirred tequila cocktails myself, so I’m definitely giving that spaghetti western a shot. I can finally use my bottle of nonino for something other than paper planes 😂
Hahahaha yes! It's a great use of Nonino!
Very interesting and cool recipes...👏👏👏
Cheers🍸
Thank you! Cheers!
@@Lui_Fern 🍸🙂
I got to get me shake game down. He look so cool doing it and I just know when I do it I look like a fool lol
I went to make the Eastside but no limes. I replaced the lime with a blended navel orange. Awesome, I think. It ought to be an official sub on that drink!
I’m a huge single malt Scotch connoisseur but I also appreciate a Tequila cocktail here and there! Terrific video Lui!! I hope u r super well!! Your first anniversary must be getting close?! Cheers!! 🥂
Hi Christine, nice to hear from you and yeah when your anniversary is coming up in August. Very excited!.
Hey that’s fabulous Lui!!
Great timing, Lui. With summer approaching I’ve been trying some lighter, refreshing recipes rather than my go-to old fashioned. The pineapple cocktails look amazing, I think I’ll try those with the Fortaleza blanco my wife scored today 👍🏻
sir do NOT mix with Fortaleza. enjoy that bad boy neat or an ice cube. sincerely, a guy that’s been searching high and low for a bottle in south FL
Sir, mix Fortaleza with whatever you want. Cocktails are not an inferior manner of drinking a spirit. And for what it's worth, depending on the cocktail a great spirit will make the cocktail even that much better. Especially in a simple cocktail like that
@@Lui_Fern i agree, if i could resay it i’d say if you you’re going to mix it do it with a spirit forward cocktail. To be clear I am by no means attacking cocktails the reason i follow you is because i love trying all your recipes.
@@scopedad No worries! I didn't mean to come after you. I just didn't want this gentleman to have the wrong idea. This is something I'm very passionate about that good spirits make good cocktails better. And people shouldn't hoard Spirits. They're meant to be sipped on and enjoyed in whatever fashion that is
@@scopedad I tried it neat last night, and while it is an excellent blanco, I much prefer the añejo neat or in an old fashioned. I agree with Lui’s comment, and will be trying his pineapple recipes about 30 minutes after work tomorrow 👍🏻
Hey, thanks for the video. May I ask for your help with tequila choice? If you had to choose between 1800, Espolòn, and Herradura, what would your choice be for Blanco/Reposado for cocktails? I know the choices seem arbitrary, but my tequila options are very limited in my country. Other brands are either non-100% agave or way too overpriced for what they are.
i would use herradura personally for all choices.
Either Herradura or Espolón. Look for tequilas that are additive free. I always go with a reposado for cocktails. You want something that will hold up to the other ingredients. Regards from Indiana!
@@davidcattin7006 So are both Espolon and Herradura additive-free? I googled quite a bit for that info but couldn't find a definitive answer.
Do u know much about the CRT busting in on tequila matchmaker headquarters? Thanks Tom
Hi Tom I wrote about it in my Newsletter:
ingoodspirits.beehiiv.com/p/crt-mexican-government-go-tequila-matchmaker
I made a Painkiller, but I used Lalo tequila instead of the rum, freaking amazing.
That sounds great man! 😁
Love you channel. I've tried a lot of your drinks and explored some great tequilas that you've recommended. Haven't been able to get my hands on a bottle of Forteleza yet. Keep up the great work.
Lui, as far as budget tequila & mezcal goes- What do you think Lunazul & Banhez❓
I have a whole review coming out on Bahnez coming out tomorrow
I want to know what you were drinking before you started rolling
is organic lime juice, or lemon juice good for cocktails or fresh fruit better
Fresh from a fruit. Never bottled.
@Lui_Fern tthank you sir
you need to update your prices, Cimarron Blanco is 35 dollars and Arette Blanco is 37 dollars at total wine Florida, you say its low 20s , maybe years ago ?
No. I actually really don't need to update my pricing for two reasons. 1. I'm not a store. 2. Prices are different everywhere in the country, and even from store to store & 3. These are the prices I can find them at in Massachusetts
First comment… less go !
Cheers!
Who drinks all these drinks when your done
Unfortunately usually the sink. I film before we open anytime between 11-3 pm
I volunteer to be your video assistant if I can drink the drinks instead of getting paid.
I volunteer just to be the guy who drinks the drink and gives an opinion or not. lol. Love your content! Keep up the great work
