Spring is in the air, with warmer weather, longer days, and flowers beginning to pop up after a long and cold winter. That means it’s time to move into new spring drinks trends too, and we’re seeing interest in fresh fruits and herbs for the season, taking advantage of the sharp and delicious flavors that come from using fresh ingredients.

That’s good news for tequila lovers, as tequila and fruits are natural partners. These recipes from tequila brand Dulce Vida use everything from blood orange to grapefruit juice to prickly pear for fresh flavors that are perfect for the changing season.
