Pete Wagner, Tequila Ambassador to Brown-Forman for the State of Ohio, stopped by the Qfm96 studio for an “I’d Tap That” edition of the Joe Show Drive at 5. Pete brought an array of el Jimador and Herradura tequilas for Archie and crew to sip and sample while telling us why tequila makes the perfect summer drink. Pete informed us that classic drinks are making a comeback and that keeping a recipe simple is key to any great cocktail. Since more people are staying at home, they’ve begun exploring classic drink recipes, which has made tequila sales increase. Plus with the start of pool and patio season, summer cocktails are trending. Did you know that you can replace a lot of standard spirits in classic drinks with tequila? For example, you can swap vodka drinks with the brightness of el Jimador silver. Or try making an old-fashioned with Herradura Añejo instead of whisky.
You can find Herradura and el Jimador readily available where most alcohol is sold. Please remember to drink responsibly.
