Tequila Ultra Tonics shake up flavorful cocktails

Sometimes simplicity makes for the best tasting cocktails. Tequila Ultra Tonics showcase that just a handful ingredients can make for a flavorful cocktail. It could be time to skip that margarita for a tonic.

Recently, Tequila Herradura Ultra shared a few recipes that feature tequila and tonic. From a simple cocktail to layers of flavors, the combination of tequila and tonic makes for a refreshing cocktail.

Sometimes, a tequila and tonic is a simple substitute for a margarita. It can be a way to enjoy a tequila cocktail that has a little less sugar than a simply sweet and sour mix.

When considering these types of cocktails, the tonic is as important as the tequila. Although everyone has a favorite brand, Q Mixers is a great choice.

For example, the Q Mixers Superior Tonic offers a quite different flavor from the Q Mixers Elderflower Tonic. It can be fun to try different tonics with the tequila.
