  • Back in Drinks Tube, today is all about Tequila baby!

  • yes, one of my favourite spirits.

  • What is in Tequila? Is a spirit that can only be distilled from the Algave plant and nothing else

  • In Mexico, different Tequilas come from the different aging process.

  • Blanco, not aged, Reposado and Anejo.

  • Reprosado slightly rested and Anejo. Look at the difference in the colour,

  • because they spend longer in the wooden cast.

  • That's where the grain of colour comes from, but not just that

  • even the flavour, the taste! Let's move on.

  • Now everybody see Tequila as a shot

  • There are two ways of drinking Tequila as a shot, the wrong way and the right way.

  • The wrong way is with salt and lemon, why? Life is too short to drink bad tequila.

  • Why go to waste with some weird salt and lemon, out!

  • We sip it slowly, a good tequila doesn't need any salt and lemon.

  • Sip it a couple of times because you get all the flavours, all the taste, all the hearty notes of the Algave.

  • The grassy flavour, the mell of notes of the aged tequila.

  • Let's make a nice drink. Because everybody knows the classic Tequila Sunrise!

  • And I've got a way to make it that will be even more delicious

  • than any Tequila Sunrise in the entire planet.

  • Let's get a tall glass, we put 20ml of Grenadine. Grenadine is the ration of the juice of the pomegranate.

  • It's tarty, it's stunning, it's perfect for special drink.

  • Turn it a little bit just to cover the inside of the glass, just a little bit.

  • Second step, we fill up the glass with ice cubes.

  • At this point, Tequila Cazadores Blanco, 50ml inside the glass.

  • And you will always measure it.

  • so the drink will always be balanced.

  • So fresh oranges, cut them and we gonna squeeze them directly inside the glass.

  • Once you've squeezed it, all the essential oil from the skin will mix with the juice.

  • It will blend into the cocktail. It will bring an extra dimension of the flavour.

  • One second, let me call Jamie. Jamie we are making delicious cocktail with Tequila you should come!

  • You're busy cooking? You're always cooking. You know what I'm gonna drink for myself

  • and for all the followers of Drinks Tube- ciao!

  • Now let's take a orange and I'm gonna squeeze it directly into the glass.

  • Why is it called Tequlia Sunrise?

  • Because in the bottom, with the Grenadine, if I stir a little bit, it looks like the sunrise on the beach.

  • Look at the beautiful, chromatic effect.

  • Last but not least, since I've got here my orange, I can simply cut a little wedge.

  • which I'm gonna put it on top like a garnish like this.

  • There is nothing more simple, there is nothing more delicious

  • than a well made, by the heart, Tequila Sunrise.

  • Let's give it a go guys

  • Fresh bit of orange, nice Blanco Tequila, sharp, tarty, zesty little bit of Grenadine in the bottom

  • that combines everything together.

  • Looks like a sunrise, I feel like I be on the beach in Mexico!

  • I go to Mexico, big up Mexico.
