The Spanish Fly drink isn’t guaranteed to be an aphrodisiac but it will quench your thirst. Margaritas and shots are usually the first tequila drinks that come to people’s mind. But tequila cocktails don’t always have to be traditional. Pair tequila with Irish Whiskey in the Mexico’s Shamrock and you’re good to go for an Irish holiday. Easy to make specialty syrups can take ordinary tequila to a new level of entertaining. The Blue & Silver Bells cocktail makes holidays shine with the Blueberry Lavender Syrup. Something as simple as rosemary infused ice enhances tequila’s flavor and presentation for summery lemonade. The Spanish Fly drink recipe listed below is another interesting tequila drink that varies beyond the usual Margarita.
