“When you think of tequila, what comes to mind? Sugary margaritas? Horrible hangovers? Shots? It’s time to put an end to the so-so reputation tequila has as the cringe-worthy party spirit, one best not tasted. Whether your taste preference is for sweet, spicy, savory or somewhere in between, we have a bottle that’s perfect for your sipping pleasure—or for a friend’s! Here’s a roundup of our top picks of añejo tequilas (tequilas aged a minimum of one year, but less than three) that make for great gifts during the holidays.”
11/30/18 – We recently got our hands on some St George Spiced Pear Liqueur and it’s absolutely stunning. You get a hint of every flavor in it – ripe Barlett pear, cinnamon and clove. It makes the perfect fall cocktail, and although we are admittedly a little late to the Fall party, this libation can be enjoyed any time of year.
We added a bit of spice here with some habanero chili pepper-infused maple syrup: roughly chop the peppers and warm on the stove with maple syrup to infuse. (“Hot” tip- for those in the US, Trader Joe’s make a ghost pepper-infused maple syrup that works really well, but it’s on the spicier side, so mix with regular syrup as needed).
This drink will warm the soul through those cold Fall months!
