Tequila Drink FAQ’s

What kind of tequila works best for this Tyson Crunch Punch?

Blanco tequila works best for this one. We usually use Espolon Blanco tequila and you can see our favorite tequila recipes – we’ve got lots!

It’s not just about the margaritas (check out our over 25 Margarita recipes) but there’s lots of other tequila cocktails too.

What juice is good with Blanco tequila?

Pineapple juice is always delicious with tequila, but our favorite is probably cranberry juice, just what this recipe calls for!

What’s a good garnish for this Tyson Crunch Punch?

If we had been more on the ball, a fantastic garnish would be a halved pickled brussels sprout slit with a knife, so it could sit on the edge of the glass!

It would look quite a bit like the “cauliflower ear” some boxers and rugby players have.
