COCKTAIL RECIPES

This is a dangerous cocktail because it is so easy to drink. It's a take on an old classic, is sophisticated and makes excellent use of Respeto.

 - 2 oz Extra Añejo Tequila

 - 7.5ml (1/4 oz) Respeto

 - 5 dashes of Peychaud’s Bitters

 - Add ice, strain into coupe glass

 - Express lemon oil the empty glass

 - Absinthe spritz glass

 - New lemon peel express + garnish 

Using a tequila or a lightly-smokey mezcal,  you can make an Old Fashioned that is 100% agave by substituting Respeto as the sugar source.

 - 1.5 oz Reposado Tequila

- 1 oz Montenegro Amaro

- 1/3 oz Respeto

- 2 dashes Orange Bitters

- Serve in chilled coupe glass w/cherry 

This is the most popular cocktail recipe using Respeto, and it's similar to a Carajillo (when served with ice), or a deeply delicious espresso martini (when served in a coupe glass.) Impossible to drink just one of these! (Consider using decaf coffee to prevent the jitters.)

- 2 oz Espresso (or cold brew)

- 2 oz Blanco tequila

- 1/2 oz Respeto

- Shaken (vigorously)

- Serve in rocks glass with ice

   OR, serve up in coupe glass

- No garnish 

Respeto is actual cooked agave, so it is dark from being caramelized. This is not true of other agave nectars, which skip the cooking step and follow a more chemical conversion process.

We call this the "Caramelized Margarita", which is a Tommy's Marg using Respeto. The result is a dark, but super delicious and layered cocktail. In our opinion, it tastes better, has more depth and complexity, and makes it even easier to drink. 

- 2 oz Blanco tequila

 - 1 oz lime juice

 - 1 oz Respeto

 - Shaken

 - Serve in rocks glass with ice

 - Garnish with lime wheel
