Tequila Soleil image

Think of the Tequila Soleil as a Negroni (with tequila) meets a spritz (with beer) meets that wonderful feeling of relief only an ice cold drink on a hot summer afternoon can bring. The vermouth - use blanc if you have it, sweet red if you don't - tempers the drink, but the key to a perfectly balanced Tequila Soleil lies in how you build it. Namely, you'll want to add the ice last. This small switch in technique has a big impact, keeping the beer from deflating on impact and thus retaining a bubbly, refreshing vibe for much longer.

I'm not a huge fan of sweet cocktails, so I was hesitant to try this one. But I'm so glad I did! The orange liqueur and lime juice balance out the sweetness perfectly.

This cocktail is so easy to make. I just threw all the ingredients in a shaker and strained it over ice. It's the perfect drink for a weeknight when I don't have a lot of time to cook.

This is the perfect drink for a summer party. It's light, refreshing, and has a beautiful golden color. I garnished mine with a lime wedge and it looked so elegant.

This tequila soleil is hands down my new favorite cocktail! It's got the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and boozy. I made it for a party last weekend and it was a huge hit. Everyone loved the unique flavor.
