Blindside Blitz
About
The Blindside Blitz cocktail doesn’t ease you in - it hits fast and loud. Built on Teremana Reposado Tequila, this drink brings warm agave and light oak straight into sharp lime and fiery ginger beer. The result is spicy, refreshing, and intentionally aggressive, in the best way possible.
Crushed ice keeps the drink cold and fast-drinking, while ginger beer brings the heat that keeps your palate awake. Lime juice tightens everything up, cutting through the sweetness of the tequila and keeping the finish clean. Served in a rocks glass, Blindside Blitz feels compact, punchy, and made for moments when the game (or the room) suddenly shifts energy.
Shaken or Stirred? Built. This drink is all about speed, fizz, and impact.
