Time Out

Tequila’s a tough one in terms of cocktails. I’m learning to appreciate its many nuances as a sipping liquor, its wonderful complexity, and the more-than-subtle differences between distillers. But as far as remarkable cocktails out there, I find only a few and far between when tequila’s involved. Well, that’s slowly changing, and the Time Out is a tequila drink that can stand up against many of the rum summer and spring drinks. It’s kind of in the mojito family — only different. We had them with friends on an early spring evening and all agreed that the drink was amazing. Put on your Brubeck record of the same name and unwind with a Time Out.

Here we go –

1 ½ oz tequila
¼ oz simple syrup
3 – 4 dashes Peychaud bitters
½ large lime cut into small pieces
Club Soda
Mint to garnish.

Muddle the lime, simple syrup and bitters together in a double old-fashioned glass. Add cracked ice and tequila. Fill to top w/ club soda and add a healthy mint sprig as garnish.

Bit of a build with this drink but I was looking for some tequila cocktails and feel this beauty needs mentioning. I’ll warn you…it’s pink and has quite a combination of interesting flavors. There’s an egg white component, which fluffs the drink up a bit and carries the 4 distinct tastes to your tongue in a very satisfying way.

Here we go –

1 1/2 oz Tequila
½ oz Cherry Liqueur
¾ oz Lime Juice
½ egg white (just make 2 drinks and use a whole one)
1 tsp. Grenadine (I prefer Roses w/ this one, I like the sweet)

Put everything in a shaker with cracked ice and shake vigorously for a minute. Pour everything into a small hi-ball glass, garnish with a cherry.
