Today is Tequila Day, so we are drinking a Paloma.

20 best Tequila cocktails

With its earthy herbaceous flavours, tequila makes for both a versatile and characterful base spirit in cocktails. Contemporary pairings with tequila include

Twin Six

A Million Dollar Cocktail, but with zesty orange juice in place of pineapple juice. The result is fresher and more cleansing, fitting the aperitivo moment

Jake Walk

Grassy freshness from the rhum agricole dominates this floral Margarita-style cocktail.

Tulane

Subtly fruity and more properly Martini-like than a contemporary Strawberry Martini.

Tulane Aperitif

Adapted from the classic Tulane cocktail with Chambreyzette aperitif in place of strawberry liqueur.

Tulane Martini

A Fifty-Fifty-style, delicately strawberry-influenced Martini, adapted from the classic Tulane cocktail with Chambreyzette aperitif in place of the original

Midnight

Lovers of Scotch whisky and Chartreuse should only consider this spirit-forward, herbal cocktail. (It's more approachable when served in an old-fashioned

Peach & Basil Vodkatini

A fruity Vodkatini with the headline flavours of peach and basil, freshened by a splash of lemon juice, and subtly herbal vermouth.

Palermo'tini

Vodka-laced pineapple and vanilla with flavoursome balancing acidity provided by Sauvignon Blanc wine. This cocktail works without the muddled pineapple

Porto Tónico (White Port & Tonic)

Portugal's answer to the G&T is tasty, balanced, superbly refreshing and relatively low in alcohol.
