Paloma Cocktail Recipe, How-To
Somewhere between a “skinny girl margarita” flavor and a light and refreshing grapefruit margarita with good tequila notes. It seems to get a bit more tart as you drink, making it hard for us to finish over time.

Flavorful reposado and citrus with a mild blend of grapefruit but only a slight tart finish.
Sparkle Donkey Silver brings crisp clean grassy notes while Sparkle Donkey Reposado takes more of a sweet caramel candy aroma and cotton candy finish all alongside a rich agave.
Sweet and smokey pineapple, mild sweetness followed by an extremely hot and spicy finish that will remain long after the sip is finished.
Agave, sweet overripe pineapple skin, vanilla with a smooth medium body mouthfeel. The finish is crisp, smooth and buttery with very little alcohol heat.
A seasonal cocktail for the holidays, we’re mixing up: 1 oz. Partida Reposado, 3/4 oz. Irish Cream, 1/2 oz. Butterscotch Schnapps and a Splash of Cinnamon Schnapps.
We’re tasting reposado tequila, five brands including: Tres Generaciones, Don Julio, El Gran Jubileo, Partida and the 100-Proof Dulce Vida. We tried to get a cross-section of pricing and style but each tequila ranged from USD $40 to USD $50 so we didn’t get as big of a price bracket as we wanted.
We received the Reposado last in the series of the El Gran Jubileo Tequila product line so we’re really looking back to the younger variety of Blanco as well as its older brethren of Añejo as a point of reference. The Reposado definitely lands right in the middle in terms of color, giving off a light gold with a great clarity. The nose has a remarkably bold agave profile with bright ripe pineapples and hints of caramel mingled with mint [...]
One of my favorite breeds of tequila, Reposado, really excites me because of its versatility. I feel an añejo is a bit too much for most cocktails and is usually consumed neat and silver is a bit weak on flavors in a cocktail and for truly experiencing all the agave has to offer when sipping. Reposado, however, is an entirely different beast because I can use it for any of my desires. Don’t get me wrong, I love Añejo but [...]

Republic Tequila Reposado is an organic tequila made with 100% Blue Agave. We’re tasting it only days after reviewing the Republic Tequila Plata to see how the more mature product compares to its sibling and how it holds up to our expectations of “Reposado” (rested) tequila. The Republic Tequila Reposado begins its life as a plata which is then aged in American oak barrels for eight months to become what we see as the the reposado. The scents of this [...]
The name says it all, Sex on a Mexican Beach. The name is more of a play on the original “Sex on the Beach” recipe becaues of the included juice flavors, however, this cocktail brings in the Tequila spirit to change the beach location to Mexico. Overall, I find this recipe to be more of a fruitier margarita play more than that of a sex on the beach. If you like margarita’s or hoped for a sweeter play on the [...]
