Celebrate National Tequila Day With Savage Scorpions!
National Tequila Day is coming on July 24, 2019. Savage Scorpions & tequila go perfectly together, so it's definitely a holiday we look forward to celebrating! Whether it be a scorpion shot or a tequila cocktail with our creative cocktail garnish gracing the glass, no matter how you shoot it, our tasty treat definitely livens up any party. Just in case you need a little inspiration, here are some savagely awesome ways to celebrate National Tequila Day.
Scorpion Shots
The easiest way to pair tequila with a Savage Scorpion is to pour a shot of your favorite tequila, drop a Savage Scorpion into that shot, and then drink it. (The addition of salt and lime are optional.)
The most difficult decision you will have to make is what type of tequila you will choose. Blanco (or silver) is a popular choice but a nice Reposado or Anejo is tasty too. A while back we dedicated an entire blog All About Tequila that may help you make that decision.
Tequila Sunrise
This beautiful drink will make your Savage Scorpion look like it's enjoying a colorful sunrise when you drop it into the drink! You could set up even more of a tropical scene by perching your scorpion on an orange slice garnishing the glass next to a drink umbrella!
A Tequila Sunrise has a simple recipe, but it takes a bit of skill to make it look just right. Start with a glass of ice, then add a shot of tequila and some orange juice. Lastly, add grenadine down the inside of the glass so that it sinks to the bottom and do not stir it up. The red of the grenadine merging up into the orange of the juice should give you a gorgeous sunrise effect.
Paloma
Our next tequila-based cocktail is most commonly prepared by mixing tequila with a grapefruit-flavored soda over ice. Fresca, Squirt, and Jarrito's are popular brands that should be easy to find. Some people like to salt the rim of the glass for additional flavor and a squeeze of lime also gives it a nice taste.
If you don't want to use the grapefruit soda, a variation on the recipe replaces it with fresh white or red grapefruit juice, club soda, and a squeeze of lime. Agave syrup or some type of sweetener can also be added if needed.
Margarita
Last, but certainly not least, possibly the most popular tequila drink on the planet - the marvelous margarita. These come in just about every flavor, color, and size imaginable. Our unique cocktail garnish can be used marvelously with all of them!
A classic lime margarita is made of tequila, an orange liqueur (like triple sec,) and lime juice served either frozen or over ice in a glass with a salted rim. The addition of agave syrup can be made if you need a bit of sweetness added and some people choose to substitute sweet & sour mix in place of the fresh lime juice. Those ingredients will get you started, but with an internet search or suggestions from your favorite bartender, you will be able to discover lots of wonderful margarita recipes to try out.
As a matter of fact, you can find all kinds of fun and creative drink recipes online for every type of liquor you like. Simply add "1 - Savage Scorpion" to the list of ingredients for each one and you've got a savagely delicious drink that will be the hit of any party!
