tequila

Love a crisp Margarita, or one with a softer, gently oaky finish? Blanco and reposado can take the same drink in different directions. Here's how to choose the tequila you'll actually enjoy.

One Margarita can taste bright and zesty or rich and mellow — just by changing the orange liqueur. Here's when to reach for Cointreau, triple sec or Grand Marnier, and which bottle we'd buy first.

That almost-empty bottle is not clutter yet. Measure the last 15–60 ml, then turn gin, vodka, rum, tequila or whiskey into a proper drink instead of an awkward leftover.

This Pandan Margarita keeps everything you love about the classic — tequila, fresh lime and a little orange — then adds pandan for a soft tropical aroma that can remind you of vanilla, coconut and toasted rice. It looks special, tastes surprisingly familiar and takes only a few minutes to shake.
