Notes
I tried both silver and anejo tequila. The cocktail made with the silver tequila was smooth and simple, easy to drink with ginger and lime flavors shining through with agave sweetness underlying nicely. The cocktail made with anejo tequila was more robust in flavor, almost slightly smoky in taste with ginger and lime playing support with a hint of agave sweetness as follow-up. Both cocktails are delicious in their own right... it just depends on what you are in the mood for!
