The Matador is July 13th Drink of the Day!!

July 13, 2013 | By Shaun the Bartender | Add a Comment

Tequila is such a great spirit when it comes to mixing drinks. Why stick with just a margarita or a tequila sunrise when you can find many things that you can use as a mixer that will compliment its complexity? Plus, the mixer used in this cocktail is something that seems to be forgotten when making drinks. Don’t understand why that is. But, I think you will start supplying it once you taste this cocktail.

Another one of those nice and refreshing cocktails to take in while relaxing for the weekend. Either by the pool or while cooking something up on the grill, this will quench the craving you have for something quite unique and, to sway you to trying even more, is the ease of making it. I know you will enjoy this unique and gratifying beverage. Cheers!

3/4 oz. Triple Sec

Apple Juice
