27 June is Pineapple Day with Rooster Rojo Smoked Pineapple Tequila.
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you love pineapples, then 27 June is perhaps already a fixture in your diary. It’s Pineapple Day and so the perfect excuse to organise a gathering and crack open a bottle of a unique (and we don’t use that word lightly) smoky, pineapple tequila – Rooster Rojo\u00ae<\/span> Smoked Pineapple<\/span> Tequila.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tequila is the big new trend in cocktails, and this is the first smoked pineapple infused tequila in the world.<\/p>\n

\"Rooster<\/p>\n

Rooster Rojo Tequilas are a collection of beautifully hand-crafted 100% Blue Weber Agave Mexican tequilas, designed to be sipped not slammed.<\/p>\n

Rooster Rojo Smoked Pineapple Tequila uses Red Spanish Pineapples for the distinctive taste profile they provide in this infusion. The Master Distiller in Mexico took over a year to test and taste different varieties of pineapple to bring this spirit to life and selected Red Spanish Pineapples which create a delectably smooth, 38% ABV spirit that is so complex it almost tastes like a cocktail in itself. The taste notes include pineapple, of course, combined with oakiness, smoke, and ripe bananas.<\/p>\n

These fine tequilas are crafted in small batches at the base of the Volc\u00e1n de Tequila in Mexico – the heart of tequila country. Enjoy them any way you prefer, serving this spirit on the rocks; as a long drink, combined with pineapple juice garnished with fresh pineapple; in a Pineapple Paloma; or in a Margarita.

Rooster Rojo Tequilas can be purchased from good online drinks retailers such as Master of Malt<\/span><\/a> (where it’s a best seller) or The Whisky Exchange<\/span><\/a> (priced from around \u00a329). Other Rooster Rojo expressions are available to buy at Ocado.<\/p>\n

The brand is the favourite choice of many of the world’s top bartenders, including Andrew Watson who works in Sweden and who has been named the World’s Best Bartender. Emulate these bar professionals by shaking up two gorgeous Margaritas that are worthy of a top bar experience, with these recipes that make the most of Rooster Rojo Smoked Pineapple Tequila.<\/p>\n
