Pinit

I’m shelving my Spicy Margarita obsession this summer and trying something new: In The Raw’s Spicy Tequila Sunrise. Made with muddled jalapeno and lime juice, it packs a punch. Agave In The Raw (a gluten free sweetener made from the blue agave plant) adds a sweetness that cuts through the spicy notes. Combined with tequila, fresh orange juice, pomegranate juice and club soda, it’s the perfect warm weather drink.
I’ve always been a fan of tequila, but ever since my trip to Tequila, Mexico (the town where tequila is made), I’ve become pickier about my cocktails and this one makes the grade. Agave In The Raw can also be used in coffee, baked goods and pretty much anything that requires a sweetener. It’s the perfect alternative to sugar! What’s your go-to summer cocktail?
