In the tequila canon, the immense popularity of the <\/span>Margarita<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Paloma<\/span><\/a> (and their many riffs) has left some other classics overlooked. From spirit-forward drinks to tropical classics and even an unexpected agave-based aperitif, the world of tequila drinks beyond these headliners is vast, and worth exploring. Here are five underrated recipes to start with.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Guadalajara Punch<\/span><\/a> is a regional favorite in Jalisco, Mexico. The large format drink combines various citrus fruits with soda, tequila and salt. It\u2019s served in a clay vessel and is sometimes called the Cazuela Voladora, or \u201cflying casserole\u201d; its easy-drinking nature can \u201csend you flying.\u201d (See also: <\/span>Cantarito<\/span><\/a>, another tequila classic served in earthenware.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Mezcal Negronis<\/span><\/a> have skyrocketed over the past few years, but the tequila version of the drink has gone under the radar. Popularized by Gary \u201cGaz\u201d Regan, the <\/span>Rosita<\/span><\/a> calls for reposado tequila at its base and cuts the typical sweet vermouth portion with a half-ounce of dry vermouth. At the Franklin in New Orleans, smoked tequila adds nuance to the bar\u2019s take on the drink<\/a>, while Roma Norte, a Mexico City\u2013inspired bar in San Diego, swaps the expected reposado for a brighter blanco expression and serves its version<\/a> up in a coupe.<\/span><\/p>\n

A holdover from the 1970s, the Tequila Sunrise doesn\u2019t often get its flowers from the cocktail community. But for Ignacio \u201cNacho\u201d Jimenez, the drink doesn\u2019t have to be a punchline. His take, the <\/span>Sun-Risa<\/span><\/a>, levels up each of its parts: The juice is lengthened with a touch of bitter orange for extra-tart complexity, and the grenadine is swapped out for hibiscus-habanero syrup. The tequila is combined with mezcal for added smokiness. At Tavern Next Door, meanwhile, the drink goes in a tropical direction<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Though the Toreador predates the Margarita, it\u2019s much less popular globally. In Australia, however, it\u2019s <\/span>a well-known classic <\/span><\/a>and a standard entry in the mental recipe book of most professional Aussie bartenders. Jeremy Blackmore, creative director for Sydney\u2019s <\/span>Mucho Group<\/span><\/a> of bars, describes the drink\u2014a mix of tequila, apricot liqueur, lime juice and simple syrup\u2014as \u201csuch a great, simple drink that gets overlooked.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n

The words \u201ctequila\u201d and \u201caperitif\u201d are rarely seen together in a drink description, which is what makes the Metexa stand out. For Jamie Boudreau, who has <\/span>revived<\/span><\/a> the mix of tequila, quinquina and Swedish punsch, the drink is ideal \u201cfor people that are tired of Margaritas, but want something elegant that packs a little jab.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n
