One of the most popular – yet often misunderstood – spirits is tequila. More than a shooter, this distilled spirit from the heart of Mexico comes in a wide range of types, each with its own complex flavor profile. Tequila can be sipped neat or used as the primary spirit for a huge selection of cocktails ranging from the classic tequila sunrise (which we recommend with both orange juice and orange bitters) to the Mexican mule, margaritas (with fresh lime juice), and the mojito blanco.

Nothing’s better than a cold bourbon slushie on a hot summer day, and making a batched bourbon slushie means you can just scoop and serve cocktails to keep guests refreshed and happy at your soiree. While I occasionally make bourbon slushies in batches of two, I usually increase the ingredients to make a larger batch so I can keep some on hand for hot afternoons with friends.
