What is a simple yet tasteful tequila drink I can make?
One that brings out the flavor and body that isn't just a filler?
a Tequila Sunrise is a good tequila drink. Its basically tequila and orange juice, with a little grenadine (cherry syrup) for flavor and color.
Make it in a highball glass, fill 2/3 with ice. Fill glass 1/3 full with tequila, then top with OJ, leaving a little room at the top of the glass. Then pour in about 1 tablespoon of grenadine.
Enjoy.

You can't get simpler than this: tequila, ginger ale, and a lime. For the tequila, I recommend Hornitos, and you'll want to use a high quality ginger ale or ginger beer with a natural ginger taste. I like
Blue Sky's Jamaican Ginger Ale .
3 parts tequila, 1 part triple sec, the juice of 3 limes. Basically a very tart margarita. Known as a Juicy Brucie or Quivering Bitch depending on the circles you roll with.
The classic Margarita is an excellent drink when done well. A little bit of cointreau and lime juice accentuate the tequila with citrus flavors. Don't use an añejo, save those for sipping.
Just make sure nothing about it is "frozen" or "strawberry."
Remove bottle of Silver Patron from freezer. Pour into rock glass. Sip.
I really like Palomas. Use about 2 oz of silver tequila, 6 oz of Fresca or other grapefruit soda, a little bit of lime juice and a pinch of salt. Its really tasty and refreshing!
I find that Passion fruit juice and tequila bring out the best in one another. The ratio of Passion fruit juice and tequila depends on the quality of the tequila but even the cheapest tequila can make this a delicious combination.
patron & simply limeade. beautiful combination.
