The Cocktails That Made Tequila Famous

Tequila has been one of the breakout spirits of the past few years, inspiring cocktail haunts such as Mayahuel and Zengo. Fans of the agave-based tipple can expand their appreciation at this hands-on workshop, led by Elayne Duke of Diageo. After a grapefruit-based La Paloma welcome cocktail, she’ll cover the history and evolution of tequila styles and lead a tasting of four varieties, including Excellia reposado and Gran Centenario anejo. Then you'll get a chance to make three quaffs of your own, including a Smoke and Ginger featuring tequila blanco, mescal, lime juice and honey-ginger syrup.
