The Prado

Tequila has made a hell of a comeback. Everywhere you look there is a new brand eyeing the perfume bottle at the top of the industry. FInd one you like; drink it. I really don’t care which brand you choose, but here is some advice on some cocktails to make with your choice agave spirit.

You like margaritas? Make ‘em. Other than that the most simple drinks are substitution cocktails. Tequila old-fashioneds, hell yes. Manhattans, of course. Other favorites are the Rosita and the Prado. The latter is a very simple “sour” cocktail using maraschino as the sweetener and lime as the sour. The drink is damn good and egg whites extend the mouthfeel of the maraschino liqueur adding a complex element to a simple drink.

Prado
1 1/2 oz tequila
3/4 oz lime juice
1/2 oz maraschino
1/2 egg white
dry shake ingredients then add ice shake properly and strain into coupe class

Damn fine drink.
