Put a spring in your step with these delicious make-at-home cocktails. Rooster Rojo Tequila is widely available through Ocado, Amazon and other online drinks retailers.

First up is this superb Pineapple and Chocolate Sling. It’s simple to create yet tastes complex due to the authentic, premium, smoked pineapple tequila. This is the only one of its kind on the market and is made using Red Spanish Pineapples. The spirit has richly exotic, smoky yet fruity taste notes which combine beautifully with that Easter staple – chocolate.

15ml Lime juice

Kick off a Spring lunch party with style by making a Margarita – the cocktail that put the word ‘class’ into classic. We like to use Rooster Rojo Reposado which is aged for at least 2 months in French oak barrels to acquire the light oakiness and smooth taste that professional bartenders love.
