Fire & Fruit
About
The Fire & Fruit cocktail is built to hit fast and finish cold. It takes the natural pepper and earth of blanco tequila and pushes it into brighter territory with blood orange and lime, then cools everything down with crushed ice, mint, and aromatic spice.
Teremana Tequila Blanco brings clean agave and subtle heat. Blood orange juice adds a deeper, almost berry-like citrus note that feels richer than standard orange, while fresh lime sharpens the edges. Agave syrup smooths the ride without muting the acidity.
What makes this drink stand out is the garnish. Fresh mint cools the nose instantly, while cinnamon adds warmth and spice with every sip. Together, they create a true fire-and-ice effect that feels energetic, refreshing, and a little wild.
Shaken or Stirred? Shaken. Shaking fully integrates the citrus and agave before the drink hits crushed ice, keeping it lively and balanced.
