spice up your summer

serves 1

ingredients

• 25ml tequila 'gold'
• Juice of 1 lime
• 5ml Grenadine
• 50ml orange juice
• Ice cubes

preparation

Place a few ice cubes into a tall glass and pour over the Grenadine (this is an alcoholic cordial made from pomegranates that is used to give this drink its sunrise colouring!) In a cocktail shaker (with a well-fitting lid!) combine the tequila, lime juice and orange juice with some ice, shake vigorously (and enthusiastically) to mix well. Then strain over the Grenadine and enjoy!

serves 1

ingredients

• 4-5 fresh strawberries
• 50ml tequila
• 25ml triple sec or orange liqueur
• Juice of 1 lime
• Ice cubes or crushed ice

preparation

Rub the outside rim of a cocktail glass with a wedge of lime and dip it in a saucer in which 1 tablespoon of sugar has been spread. Wash the strawberries and set aside half a strawberry before placing the crushed ice, strawberries and the other ingredients in a blender. Blend at low speed for 5-10 seconds then at high speed for 15-30 seconds. Strain the contents of the blender into the glass, garnish with the remaining strawberry half and sip gracefully.
