I haven't been drinking much this week (which means I'll have to schedule a marathon one weekend to catch up), but last night I shook up a nice recipe from my calendar: reposado tequila, grapefruit juice, just a little campari, then all this topped with club soda. The campari was a surprising touch, and you don't get the overwhelming bitter orange taste. I've had other recipes with tequila and grapefruit juice; they go well together, and I like the combination better than the tequila with coffee-flavored liqueur drinks.
As a P.S.: the recipe from a week or so ago was for a simple tequila shot, with the lime wedge and the salt. I'm sorry, but I still don't get the attraction of silver Patron. My perhaps rapidly fading taste buds just don't suck (or whatever verb taste buds do) much taste out of it. Their marketing's certainly effective though - it's everywhere.
Grapefruit Juice Again
