3 Ingredient easy Cocktails - 3-ingredient Tequila cocktails

Paloma (Simple)

Long, fruity and refreshing.

Medicina Latina

A ginger spiced and honeyed Tequila Sour.

Oaxaca Old-Fashioned

An agave-based old-fashioned with a wonderful hit of smokiness from the mezcal. Like many cocktails, Philip's original recipe (of 45 ml Reposado tequila,

The flavour of agave is king in this simple Margarita, made without the traditional orange liqueur.

Batanga

Basically a Cuba Libre made with tequila in place of rum and an all-important pinch of salt.

Dry, sophisticated and fruity, with tequila body.

Flutter

Three ingredients combine harmoniously and, depending on your coffee liqueur, perhaps just the merest tad on the sweet side.

You've tried this with bourbon and rye, now surprise yourself with aged tequila.

Delicately sweetened pineapple and tequila. Yumm! If you like this then you'll love a Mexican Martini.

Subtle ginger spice flavours this dry tequila martini-esque cocktail.

Pineapple Margarita

As advertised, a Margarita with pineapple fruitiness. If you have it, a splash of pineapple syrup helps balance while amplifying the pineapple flavour.

Orange liqueurs and bitters flavour this tequila-based, salmon-pink bittersweet cocktail that is perhaps better-served on-the-rocks.

Rude Gypsy

Tequila shines in this delightfully honeyed and herbal cocktail.

A simple almond twist on the classic Margarita - fantastic.

On the dry side of bittersweet. As the name suggests this is intended to be drunk as the first aperitivo of the week, preferably accompanied by olives.

Añejo Old Fashioned

A hint of agave syrup sweetness and dilution from the stirred ice knocks back the spirit's fire while opening and releasing agave flavours. (If you don't

Estilo Viejo

Honey Margarita

Strictly speaking, as this cocktail doesn't contain an orange liqueur it is not a Margarita but should properly be termed a Honey Tequila Sour. We decided

Med Mex Cocktail

Created in 2015 by Dimitris Dafopoulos, Athens, Greece.

Mexican Jumping Bean

The lovechild of Dick Bradsell's Espresso Martini and Tommy's Margarita.

Mexican Martini

Considering tequila is replacing vodka in this French Martini riff, you'd think that when it came to tequila, a blanco tequila would be best suited. However,

The success of this cocktail is as much about the quality of your tequila as it is about your choice of lemonade. Made well and this Squeeze is zesty,

Picador

The name might be more masculine, but it is still a classic Margarita. This 2:1:1 recipe is a touch on the sour side for most so you may want to add a

Tequila Sunset

A good sweet and sour balance with tequila character seemingly boosted by the honey.

All Fall Down

Too many of these and you will.

Cloud 9

A trio of big flavours (tequila, Lillet Blanc and gentian liqueur) come together in a bitter and dry aperitif.

Cool Martini

Tastes nothing like the ingredients - which include melon, tequila and cranberry juice. Try it and see if you taste toffee.
