The Real Housewives reality series is one of those addictions a lot of us have, but few will admit. I’m a guy, and even I have to admit I’ve seen a few episodes of the NY, OC, and Atlanta seasons. I’m proud to say I was able to stop watching without much withdrawal, but for those of you that aren’t that fortunate, we’ve got some fun Real Housewives of New York themed cocktails courtesy of Sauza Tequila. Sip them while watching tonights premiere, or during the many replays sure to be shown throughout the week.
The Countess
- 1 ½ part Sauza® Blue Silver 100% Agave Tequila
- 3 parts freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 dash grenadine
- ½ lime
In a shaker filled with ice combine tequila, orange juice and shake well to chill. Strain into a chilled champagne flute. Pour in the grenadine gently along the side of the glass. Squeeze the juice of ½ lime to top it off. Garnish with orange slice.
Turtle Time
- 2 parts Sauza® Blue Silver 100% Agave Tequila
- 4 parts club soda
- ½ parts fresh lime juice
- ¼ bunch of fresh mint
- ¼ bunch of fresh Basil
- 1 tbsp. sugar
In a small glass, muddle together mint leaves, fresh basil, sugar and lime juice until they start to melt together (if you don’t have a muddle, use a spoon). Add tequila and top off with club soda. Garnish with an extra sprig of mint and lime wedge.
Cheers!
