There's no knocking the power of the tequila shot. With so many smooth, small-batch sippers on the market, you could spend a lifetime taking your agave spirits straight. And no one here is disrespecting the margarita: What would be the point of patio drinking without a pitcher of lime-and-tequila perfection?
But once you've mastered the twin tequila icons, it's time to break out the other mixers. The deep, warming flavors of good tequila (the additional ingredients don't excuse bottom-shelf booze) work wonders in tropical fruit-laced punches, mojitos, and even as a twist on the Bloody Mary.
