In any case, we are starting with an aged spirit which is always a good thing, as this brings color and flavors from the barrel. For the bottle to bear reposado on the label the tequila must be barrel aged for up to a year, whereas añejo tequila has rested for at least that long. Reposado means “rested”, referring to the fact that this is an aged spirit. Double strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon twist. We like to think that it may also be a reference to the sound they make since, after a few of these you too will be buzzing. Inspired by local apiaries and the flavor of raw, organic honey, the name is a nod to the tiny bird which, like bees, also collects nectar from the flowers it frequents. Created by Vince Lund of Beretta in San Francisco, we found the cocktail some years ago in The American Cocktail Book by Imbibe Magazine.
It is such a great name for a cocktail, we figure there must be a reason. The floral aspects always elevate-and what could be more appropriate than that? The name of this drink is Spanish for hummingbird, after all. We also appreciate a drink that uses honey. When a simple recipe comes along that encourages us to explore the cabinet inventory a bit too, we take notice. We like a good tequila recipe, but if we are honest, it is not the first base spirit we think about when the clock strikes five. Here is an easy tequila cocktail that features honey and liqueur.
