HOW TO DRINK CASAMIGOS REPOSADO
So if you have been living under a rock as I have, you would not have known that besides being the face of Nespresso, George Clooney along with Randy Gerber and Mike Meldman founded a tequila company called Casamigos.
Legend has it that the trio met in Cabo and decided to work with local Jalisco talent to create a premium tequila of their own. The end result - Casamigos - literally translating into 'house of friends'.
Casamigos has three 'levels' of premium tequila: Blanco, Reposado, and Anejo all made from 100% hand-select Blue Weber Agave is grown in the rich soil and cool climate of Jalisco, Mexico's highlands.
Last week I was gifted a bottle of Casamigos Reposado and decided to experiment with my new bottle of tequila by trying out a couple of different cocktail recipes. In the end, I found three cocktails recipes perfect for summer that I really liked and had to share them with you.
