This past Saturday evening, Mrs Willie & I enjoyed the tequila cocktail called a Siesta. I didn't have any grapefruit juice so simply added 1oz of St. Elder Pamplemousse (grapefruit) Liquor, I also wanted a smokey component so used reposada instead of blanco Tequila, I also used some honey instead of simple syrup. (I actually couldn't tell you the last time I used simple syrup, I either use honey or maple syrup)
Was a fantastic cocktail, highly suggest anyone who loves tequila cocktails to try this.
