Tequila makes everything better, including a classic cocktail. The Manual recently caught up with master distiller Enrique de Colsa to get some advice on which cocktails could use a tequila twist the most. We’ve stuck to five classics, many of which you may be familiar with. Whether you’re finding standard sips a little boring or are in a bit of a tequila phase at the moment, then these five mixes should help liven things up.

De Colsa made his name as the head distiller for renowned tequila brand Don Julio. After taking a sabbatical, he created a lowland tequila blanco for The Lost Explorer. The spirit is created in small batches, at a dedicated facility, and works well in all of the cocktails that the Maestro Tequilero is suggesting below.

The 6 best Marsala wine cocktail recipes to make

With good Marsala wine, you can make some quality cocktails

Florio Marsala barrels

If you know Marsala wine at all, it's almost certainly as a cooking ingredient. This fortified wine comes from the island of Sicily in Italy, is similar to port or Maderia, and is best considered a kind of dessert wine. But you can make Marsala wine cocktails, too, even if they aren't commonly seen in the U.S. Bartenders abroad do embrace Marsala as a cocktail ingredient, and you can, too.

"We like to mix with Marsala. It is a wine that gives a drink elegance, mouthfeel, and sweetness -- and some spicyness," said bartender Marco Fabbiano in Lecce, Puglia (translated from German). Bartenders in Italy, especially in Sicily, where the wine originates, aren't afraid to use this ingredient in their cocktails. According to Fabbiano, plenty of locals like to drink Marsala neat, but they also enjoy working it into cocktails in their bar, the Laurus Cocktail Experience.
