Get Some Rest

I’ve been all tied up in a few new opportunities so my blogging game has been down.  Safe to say I’ve been relatively tired and need some rest.  Best way to rest?  With a neat shot well rested tequila.  Resposado means “rested”, in tequila terms that is a minimum of 2 months and less than a year.  Most reposados tend to be overly smokey because tequila distilleries prefer the used barrels of American brand whiskey to age tequilas.  American whiskey barrels are usually lit on fire to add a smokey flavor to aged whiskey.  When they’re done with those barrels they send them further south to Mexico.  

Partida Reposado is pleasantly clean and not overly smokey as most rested tequilas can be.  Pushing forward flavors of vanilla and hazelnut.  I prefer it on it’s own but in a cocktail of fresh squeezed lime juice and honey this tequila will add a almond accent to the drink.  

• 2 oz Repasodo Tequila
• 3/4 oz of fresh squeezed lime juice
• 3/4 oz of honey 
• Shake with ice and serve over fresh ice in a bucket glass
