Tequila Rose

What is Tequila Rose? It's that interestingly shaped bottle that you'll see on the shelf behind the bartenders at any Wetherspoon pub and other establishments that are known for their decent range of cocktails.

So, what exactly is Tequila Rose? Tequila Rose is the first and original strawberry cream liqueur which was launched a couple of decades ago.

For many years the only cream liqueurs available combined Irish whiskey with cream. And those are great drinks, but what if there was something else combing cream with a different alcohol base? But what?

Then someone thought: "What would happen if we combined cream with a different type of spirit? What would happen if we combined cream, strawberries and tequila?"

They worked on the recipe for a while until they were able to produce the perfected recipe which is called Tequila Rose. And a legend was born.

What does it taste like? Strawberries, cream and a hint of fire added by the fine quality tequila that they use.

How can it be served? By itself, or with ice, which is my preference, to be honest. Or you can use it as the basis for a wide range of very sophisticated tasting cocktails.
