The best non margarita cocktail: Ranch Water. Well, I guess it's more of a well drink? All the same, I'm watching this 12 hours after it was posted, and in 4 hours it will be National Ranch Water Day. Which is why I'm watching tequila videos, lol.... but i could go for this Los Altos! Where I live, pineapple and rum based cocktails rule, and its hard to find good tequila. I REALLY like these pineapple tequila ideas. Pina, pineapple, things that just make sense together. Thanks for a great video!
I love how versatile tequila is. I like to get creative. Adjust amounts to suit your taste. Reposado, lemon juice, Aperol, cherry bitters, margarita bitters, cran cherry, serve in glass rimmed with Halo del Santo. Cheers!

I can't wait to try these out at work. The wedding guests are gonna be in for a wild time with all these different flavors!
Lui crushes the "5 tasty tequila cocktails that are not a Margarita" challenge. Master stroke to close with a two-Mexicans and an Italian party starter. Well done Lui. And major bonus points for mixing with top shelf Cazcanes.
Great glass for the Matador! Nice video, some good looking drinks!
Great video, thanks for some nice new recipes. I've made the Los Altos a few months back and it was definetly one of the better tasting tequila/mezcal drinks for me, who is not a huge fan of either.
Great stuff Lui. Cheers/Salud!!
Iโm a huge single malt Scotch connoisseur but I also appreciate a Tequila cocktail here and there! Terrific video Lui!! I hope u r super well!! Your first anniversary must be getting close?! Cheers!! ๐ฅ
I got to get me shake game down. He look so cool doing it and I just know when I do it I look like a fool lol
I'm not much of a drinker so I've had a bottle sitting in my cabinet for awhile. I'm looking forward to trying some of these out!
Great video. Now it's time to find out if these cocktails are better than a classic margarita (which is one of the great cocktails).
Excellent collection of cocktails here, Lui! I donโt make enough stirred tequila cocktails myself, so Iโm definitely giving that spaghetti western a shot. I can finally use my bottle of nonino for something other than paper planes ๐
Canโt wait to try those recipes out โค๐๐๐น๐ธ
Great timing, Lui. With summer approaching Iโve been trying some lighter, refreshing recipes rather than my go-to old fashioned. The pineapple cocktails look amazing, I think Iโll try those with the Fortaleza blanco my wife scored today ๐๐ป
Very interesting and cool recipes...๐๐๐ Cheers๐ธ
I need to buy some of the tequilas you reccomend! It seems amazing honestly.
I'm using them for sure
I love cucumber in any drink. I like to put a cucumber slice and sone mint in the glass after straining the cocktail on the glass..your take on it may he different
