7 classic tequila cocktail recipes that prove it’s more than just a party shot

Mixing a drink with tequila as the star? Here are the recipes you ought to make

Classic margarita cocktail with salty rim on wooden table with limes and drink utensils

To me, tequila always -- first and foremost -- calls to mind slammers. When I think about this spirit. I can almost taste the tequila, salt, lime, and regret. However, tequila needn't be only a party shot. In fact, it's a wonderful tool for any home bartender, as it can be mixed into a range of fruity, sour, or even savory drinks. My personal favorite is the Michelada, a savory tomato and beer-based cocktail that was a revelation the first time I tried it. It's like a funky, sharp, spicy version of a Bloody Mary, and it's an absolute pleasure to enjoy with tacos or other Mexican food.

But that's just the tip of the tequila cocktail iceberg. There are tons of beloved tequila drinks, from a classic margarita to a refreshing Paloma. Tequila goes well with sharp citrus fruits like lemon and lime and can be lengthened with fruit juices or sodas to be more sippable and less heavily boozy than in its shot form. It can also go well with more bitter flavors, if you're looking for something darker and moodier, such as a Negroni variation.

This pre-drinking supplement totally changed the game for me

Take these to feel better the next day after drinking

Jelly IV

I don't drink alcohol frequently, and when I do, it's usually while I'm traveling and want to try fun cocktails. As an avid traveler and health enthusiast, I love the taste of alcohol but hate the way I feel the next day after drinking. The sluggishness and "mental cloudiness" I experience the next day after drinking not only slows down my productivity but also impacts the enjoyment of the next day's trip itinerary.

When I heard about Jelly IV, a pre-drinking supplement designed to alleviate these so-called hangover symptoms, I was immediately intrigued, yet also skeptical. Many supplements have health claims that most of the time, do not seem to prove true. However, the science behind Jelly IV was incredibly fascinating to me. Here's why trying this pre-drinking supplement totally changed the game for me and how it has quickly become a must-pack item in my travel bag.
