It’s strawberry season in these here parts, and that means four words – Tequila por mi Amante. Sure, I love eating strawberries in every conceivable way – jams, pies, on top of cereal, and so on and so on. But in recent times I added drinking strawberries to my early summer repertoire and I must say it’s a habit I plan on keeping. Last summer I made my first batch of Tequila por mi Amante, a strawberry-infused reposado tequila and the results were stunning – good in a cocktail, but really hard not to pour over ice and finish off the entire bottle in one sitting. It’s sweet without being overly sugary – the alcohol brings out the natural essence of the strawberry, which pairs really nicely with the spicy reposado.
