In honor of Taco Tuesdays, Tequila Thursdays (if that’s not a thing, it should be), TGIF, Cinco de Mayo, summertime and cocktail hours everywhere, I bring you the Tequila Citrus Surprise Cocktail!
The Surprise in This Tequila Citrus Surprise Cocktail – What Is It???
Fresh lemon juice, fresh orange juice, a little seltzer water, some sweet and sour mix plus amaretto and tequila combine for a delicious, refreshing cocktail. But there’s one extra ingredient. Cranberry Kombucha!
My brutally honest official taste tester (my husband) was in love with this cocktail! Yet he thinks Kombucha is disgusting. So don’t let this ingredient stop you. It didn’t stop Jason (never mind that I didn’t tell him about the Kombucha until he polished off his glass – LOL).
I, on the other hand, love Kombucha. It is my little treat when I go to the grocery store. I especially love the Gingerade and Cosmic Cranberry. It’s like an elixir for the soul. Ok, for my gut, because of the probiotics in it, but I swear it speaks to my soul too. 😉 I used to have to drive to a health-minded store to get it, but now I can find it at my nearest Walmart (in small town, Texas)!
So, as I was playing and concocting cocktails tonight, I threw just one shot of the Cosmic Cranberry Kombucha in it. Because, why not? And it added just a little something extra that puts this cocktail over the top, taking it from good to goodness-gracious-this-is-delightful!
On with the recipe (cuz I know that’s why you’re here) 😉
