Below is a list of favorite Mexican drinks compiled by a local Tampa Bay bartender that many of his customers have requested over the years. He gave me a recent interview. The recipes listed are his own. These are only suggested weights, so you can change them for your own studies.
Tequila Park –
A great country to drink, but in the borders of God’s servant. It is a mild drink mixed, that is, it is nice and sweet without being too sweet and has a pleasant fruity smell.
2 oz Jose Cuervo 1800 Tequila
4 oz Orange juice
oz Grenadine
Stir the tequila and orange juice with ice and strain into a tall glass filled with ice (it will make a large glass). Pour in the grenadine slowly and allow to settle. Before you drink, drink to complete your rise.
