A new cool refreshing drink. A glass filled to the brim with ice. Ahhh. Summer. It’s here.
When it comes to adult beverages, I’m pretty picky. I don’t like beer. I only like wine that doesn’t taste like wine. And for the most part, if I’m going to have a cocktail, I want the girliest kind possible. You know, like something along the lines of a Strawberry Colada. High maintenance, maybe, but I think I just know what I like and it seems to be drinks that don’t taste a lot like alcohol.
So when I heard about the new Teagarita from the folks at Jose Cuervo, I was, of course, a little intrigued. A new alcoholic beverage, with the addition of iced tea. It sounded pretty much up my alley.
And it was.
The first time I served it was at a recent dinner party. The icy cold drink was the perfect counterpart to a hot summer’s day. It has the unmistakeable tang of a margarita, and the punch of tequila, but with the sweetness of a glass of refreshing iced tea.
Which is to say, it goes down nice and easy.
And we finished the bottle.
For summertime entertaining, I like that you can serve up cocktails to friends without having to measure and mix and spend your night as a bartender. Less time mixing, more time catching up with friends.
Which is pretty much the best way to entertain.
