For most of us, the margarita is where tequila begins. But margaritas shouldn’t be the only time you turn to tequila. In this class, Milk Street’s resident cocktail geek, J.M. Hirsch, will walk you through five different ways to mix with tequila. We’ll start with a discussion of our take on the classic margarita, and why we love orange bitters more than orange liqueur. From there, we’ll iterate on the theme as we make five cocktails: an Al Pastor Margarita, a tequila-based spin on a Negroni, a Mexican-inspired Vieux Carré, a Tequila & Coke and an herbal Agua de Tomatillo. Whatever your bartending style, you’re guaranteed to come away with plenty of new reasons to crack open a bottle of tequila. Bonus: All attendees of this class will receive a one-time 15% off coupon to the Milk Street Store after class.This event has limited spots, and you must register in advance via Eventbrite.
