5<\/strong>th<\/sup><\/strong>, 6<\/strong>th<\/sup><\/strong>, 7<\/strong>th,<\/sup><\/strong> & 8<\/strong>th<\/sup><\/strong> May 2023 for Tequila.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It’s Cinco de Mayo on 5th<\/sup> May and this Mexican celebration is the perfect excuse for some exotic cocktails in addition to the King’s Coronation festivities that weekend. You might want to pick a couple of different tequilas for your cocktails, but whichever you choose, make sure that they are properly made, 100% Blue Weber Agave spirits, made in Mexico, so that they are authentic and delicious.

<\/strong>First up, KAH Tequila Blanco<\/span><\/a> (40% ABV). Apart from the stunning white ceramic bottle, this tequila is the UK’s No.1 best seller* for at home, ultra-premium cocktails and the good news is that it’s easy to find as it’s sold by Tesco and Tesco.com<\/span><\/a> (\u00a335 for a 70cl bottle or just \u00a330 for Clubcard members when on promotion). The bottle is exclusive to Tesco and has the \u2018wow’ factor as a host gift if you are attending a party. It’s the real deal: hand-crafted and bottled in Mexico.

Next on the list should be a tequila from the fine Rooster Rojo Tequila<\/span><\/a> range. There are five expressions in the collection. All are 38% ABV except for Ahumado at 40%. If you enjoy rich, smoky drinks then the Ahumado and Smoked Pineapple are the ones to pick. Others include Blanco, Reposado, and Anejo. Several in the range are available from Ocado.com<\/span><\/a> as well as Selfridges and other online drinks retailers so it’s easy to grab yourself a bottle – or two. Priced from \u00a328.60 this is a snip for such a finely made, authentic range of tequilas.<\/p>\n

We serve you two cocktails that are fit for a King. For a Cinco de Mayo brunch or early evening aperitif, mix this riff on a Bloody Mary, the KAH Bloody Juanita<\/strong>. KAH means \u2018to life’ so is just the thing to raise a toast.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n

60ml KAH Blanco Tequila<\/p>\n

100ml Tomato juice<\/p>\n

15ml Fresh lime juice<\/p>\n

3 Cherry tomatoes<\/p>\n

5 Drops Tabasco or Jalapeno sauce<\/p>\n

10 Drops Worcestershire sauce<\/p>\n

Salt and cracked black pepper to taste<\/p>\n

Method<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blend all the ingredients, pour over ice and garnish with Siracha Sauce and a Tajin rim.<\/p>\n

Traditional occasions call for a classic drink. For the cocktail hour, a Rooster Rojo Margarita<\/strong> is a drink to crow about. For a slight twist on the classic, try this Margarita with Smoked Pineapple Tequila instead.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n

45ml Rooster Rojo Reposado<\/p>\n

30ml Freshly squeezed lime juice<\/p>\n

15ml Agave Syrup<\/p>\n

Method<\/strong><\/p>\n

First rim your glass with salt. Combine all the ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake then strain into a fine glass. Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge and edible flowers, if available.<\/p>\n

Then on 7th<\/sup> May, the UK’s day of jubilation, and 8th<\/sup> May, the Bank Holiday, there’s plenty of time to shake up another tequila cocktail or two with friends and family.<\/p>\n
