This añejo smash is the perfect way to graduate from the overdone margarita. There are a number of great tequila drinks out there, and this one will satisfy both the cocktail enthusiast and those who just want a refreshing summer drink.
Cheers!

Andrew,
The cocktails that you feature are so consistently good it amazes me! Many of my go to recipes came from your blog; the mint julep (I’ve never had one nearly as good – such a shame they should be more popular), the Gin Basil Smash, the Greener Point, and now the Anejo Smash just to name a few offf the top of my head. Thanks for doing the hard work for us!
Sincerely,
Jacob
