Today is National Tequila Day, and there’s never been a better time to get into tequila. If you haven’t touched the stuff since your college days, you might be surprised by what modern craft tequilas have evolved into. While you’ll still find your dubious mixtos on supermarket shelves, there are also a huge range of high quality, sustainably produced tequilas which use traditional methods and ingredients.

Three delicious and unusual cocktails to up your tequila game

New York City, NY

Created for the first bar program Kitty Bernardo ran in New York City in 2023, this simple, thoughtful Martini variation might seem like a surprise coming from a bartender at Paradise Lost, better known for a maximalist approach to drink-making. But according to Bernardo, the simplicity of the drink aligns with a style of bartending they have been developing since moving to New York in 2018, and reflects the types of drinks they personally enjoy. Inspired by their late best friend, who pushed them to pursue their passion for bartending, the Tiny Sparrow Martini “is a love letter to our friendship—this cocktail combines elements of both our Vietnamese and Filipino cultures, creating a more sessionable and unapologetically Southeast Asian Martini.”

SAVEUR contributing editor Jessie YuChen often throws pan-cultural popups and parties around New York City—sometimes in restaurants, but also in shops, homes, and event spaces with varying collections of kitchen equipment. This vibrant, violet-colored ice cream suits all kinds of events nicely; the plant-based treat comes together easily, no ice-cream machine required. Sweet-and-salty flavor combinations are beloved in Taiwan, where YuChen grew up; they suggest sandwiching this ice cream between Ritz crackers or even scallion crisps for an unexpected savory twist.

Both colonoscopies took place on June 5 last year at the Tampa Ambulatory Surgery Center.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
