I am suggesting a featured spirit for each cocktail. These choices are based on my objective evaluation and are not paid advertisements. Enjoy!

Cocktail of the Week

Guadalajara Dawn

Pink tequila! This cocktail not only accents the lovely color of this first-ever rose-tinted tequila, aged in Bordeaux barrels, but also the ripe, aromatic agave bouquet and the spicy flavors.

2 ounces Asombroso La Rosa Tequila
1 ounce grapefruit juice
splash of grenadine
1 scoop crushed ice
Maraschino cherry for garnish

Shake the tequila and grapefruit juice over ice in a shaker. Strain into a chilled Old Fashioned glass. Gently float the grenadine on top. Garnish with a Maraschino cherry.
