The Spanish Fashion is an inspired take on the Old Fashioned and Herradura Silver is the perfect tequila to make it come alive. To create the Spanish Fashion add 2 ounces Herradura Silver, ½ ounce sweet sweet vermouth, and a dash of bitters to an ice filled shaker. I always prefer stirring my cocktails over shaking (Bond ruined cocktails for a generation) and straining over a tumbler with a single spherical ice cube and a maraschino cherry garnish. The result is an outrageously smooth and refreshing cocktail thanks to the tequila base while the vermouth adds sweetness to the palate as the bitters opens the whole drink up with its earthy features.  

The Paloma is an awesome grapefruit based tequila cocktail that shines when made with Herradura Reposado. To make the Paloma simply fill a rocks glass with ice and add 2 ounces Herradura Reposado, ½ ounces of fresh lime juice, top with fresh Grapefruit juice, stir gently, and garnish with a lime wedge. What you find before you is a delightfully tangy and citrusy drink that is not overbearing but full of flavor and soul. The Paloma is best enjoyed on a cool summer evening before dinner.

Be sure to pick up one of Herradura’s unparalleled tequilas and try these amazing cocktails to impress your friends with your knowledge of amazing non-margarita tequila drinks.
