Low Calorie Tequila Cocktail Recipe: Mang-Oro

Posted on September 23, 2009 | Leave a comment

The scent of Oro de Jalisco Tequila comes through as well as a hint in the taste. There is just enough to let one know Tequila is exactly the flavor of the day, but not too much to overwhelm the entirety of the drink. Mango rounds out the orange juice giving the Mang-Oro terrific flavor, yet still comes in at approximately 96 calories. Make this a Tequila Sunset type cocktail by adding fresh blueberry and raspberry puree to the bottom of the martini glass before straining in the liquid for beautiful effect and minimal calorie bump.

Parisian Oro Frappe

Posted on September 21, 2009 | Leave a comment

The Parisian Oro Frappe makes a nice Tequila coffee drink without all the sugary fuss…unless of course you dress it up with the extra 20 calories of whipped cream topping. And why not?! For those coffee lovers out there, this is a drink that crosses paths with tequila for inner warmth and spirited distraction. The cool news is the Parisian Oro Frappe weighs in at a mere 99 calories without the whipped cream. Oro de Jalisco Silver Tequila pairs nicely with coffee.

Twist on a Classic Cocktail: Almond Old Fashioned

Posted on September 9, 2009 | Leave a comment

This is an interesting take on a classic Old Fashioned cocktail. The tequila version of the Almond Old Fashioned would be much better if it did not carry so much sweetness. My recommendation would be to skip the agave syrup completely to balance out the flavor of this unique recipe. Oro Tequila’s pepper tones shine with the addition of the Amaretto nuttiness.

Almond Old Fashioned

2 ounces Oro Reposado Tequila

1/4 ounces Amaretto

1/4 ounces Agave Syrup

3 dashes Orange Bitters

Orange Twist Garnish

Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend. Strain into an old-fashioned glass over fresh ice. Garnish with fresh orange twist.

Oro Reposado Tequila: This tequila has fabulous color. The flavor is very spicy, reminding me a little of pepper without the drying bite. It is a bit thin and watery making it easily mixable. This one does not linger with sweetness in a round caramel or vanilla sort of way as some reposado tequilas do on the tongue. Hardly any sweetness if any at all. Quite nice. Good flavor. Stands up well in a cocktail.
