Tequila Cocktails

There are two tequila drinks that I've rediscovered thanks to my excursion into tequila country. The Paloma maybe an under rated and sometimes forgotten refreshment but it is worth recognition. It's a wonderful mixed drink of tequila (premium of course), fresh grapefruit juice, lime juice and a dash of soda for a little fizz. Palomas are an excellent way to enjoy your favorite tequila in a tall drink and are perfect for mid-afternoon cocktails. The Tamarind Margarita has to be my new favorite frozen cocktail. The sweet tamarind is nicely offset by rimming the glass with chili powder and makes a stunning display.
