When I receive spirit samples for review, I often ask the producer (or distributer) for a cocktail suggestion or two to give me an idea of how the people who make and market the spirit intend for us to enjoy it.
Today’s cocktail is one such bar drink. It is a sour drink that it uses both orange juice and lime and includes a dash of bitters to give the libation added depth and complexity. The recipe was sent to me by the Alberta distributor of Casamigos Tequila, Charton Hobbs and after giving it a try, I can safely give the bar drink my Rum Howler Seal of Approval.

Tequila 
Typically a sour recipe will take the form of a 4-2-1 construction which represents 4 parts of base spirit, two parts of sour (lemon or lime juice), and one part of sweetener (sugar syrup or orange liqueur). This formulation works very well, allowing the base spirit to dominate the serving while maintaining the balance between the sweet and the sour elements. Sometime though, particularly when I am mixing with an outstanding spirit, I prefer to alter those ratios bringing an even stronger focus to the base spirit. Such is the case with Cabresto Don Silver Anejo Tequila.
