Thick and syrup-y margarita mixes are the last thing we want in our glasses this summer, but many people who are unfamiliar with crafting tequila beverages default to these because they are unsure where else to start. Tequila is one of the most exciting spirits to experiment with, but after you discover which type you prefer, it’s all about using ingredients that highlight the spirit you’ve chosen. Whether you prefer your drinks to have notes of citrus, sweetness, or heat, my best advice for you is to use simple ingredients and don’t over complicate your recipes. So here are the best two-ingredient tequila drinks that will make you feel like a tequila aficionado in no time.

We’re no strangers to a classic pitcher of sweet tea around here, but at the end of a long, hot day, we want something a little, well, harder. For a very Southern hard iced tea, we infuse a sweet tea base with lemon slices, then stir in plenty of bourbon (or lemon-flavored vodka).

I feel like a kid in a candy store when peach season arrives. Few things are better than eating a ripe peach and it’s a fruit that can be used in pies, cobblers or cake, but it’s also the perfect pairing for a beverage, especially one for brunch. That was the inspiration behind our Juicy Peach Bellinis recipe.

Canned foods are easy and affordable, but flavor-wise, foods like canned vegetables aren't always as appealing as the fresh ones. That's why you need to take them up a notch by adding some seasoning or cooking them in a way that infuses them with other flavors. In the case of canned green beans, try cooking them in bacon fat for a fuller, richer flavor — once you try it, you'll never cook them another way.

Summer in the northeast states means lobster, and lots of it. Whether you go big with a decadent lobster thermidor or keep it simple with a lobster roll picnic, the celebrated crustacean is always a hit. Most people go straight for the tail or claws, which are the most popular parts of the lobster due to their meaty nature, but many of the most die-hard lobster lovers have something else in mind. They go for the lobster's body cavity, cracking it open to reveal what looks like a bright green paste coating the tender white meat.

A good bagel needs to be fresh, with a crisp crust and a chewy interior, but that alone won't cut it. You've got to pile on the classic toppings: New York deli cream cheese, some tomatoes, capers, and onions if you're feeling fancy, and of course, a few slices of lox. That's a common order at any bagel shop, and yet, it's technically incorrect. In reality, the popular pink topping we're all calling lox is, in fact, almost never lox.

While most cocktails lean toward fruity or bitter flavors, there has always been an interest in savory cocktails too. From the brunch classic Bloody Mary to the trend for fat-washing spirits to impart a rich, meaty note to drinks, there has long been room for a broad range of flavors to mix with. Recent years have even seen a few attempts to create liquors which capture the essence of favorite snack foods, though these have often been light-hearted promotional items rather than serious attempts to craft snacks into cocktails.

Not gonna lie, I would absolutely drink this in a Bloody Mary

Mixed drinks are an easy, excellent way to unwind after a long day. For many people, their alcohol of choice is tequila, a spirit made in Mexico from the blue agave plant. It's important to note that there are different types of tequila, and some are better for mixing than others. Blanco tequila, also commonly called silver or white tequila, is a popular option for mixed drinks and cocktails. This type is often bottled immediately after it is distilled, but can sometimes be aged for up to two months. Its taste is citrusy, grassy, and a little peppery. Another common option for mixed drinks and cocktails is reposado tequila, which is aged up to a year and often has notes of vanilla and caramel. Finally, añejo tequila is aged up to three years. It also has notes of vanilla and caramel, but also oak, spices, and dried fruit. It's usually used for sipping and not in mixed drinks or cocktails.
