Mastering Reposado Cocktails

Against a backdrop of explosive growth for tequila in the U.S., there remains a relative lack of classic and contemporary classic tequila cocktails — and that phenomenon is only amplified when you look beyond blanco and añejo and focus solely on reposado. This feels like an opportunity missed, so we decided to put things right and devote a discussion to mixing reposado in cocktails. Joining us as our tutor for the episode is William Brooks, Brown Forman’s global brand ambassador for tequila. Whether you’re looking to reimagine classics with reposado or construct something entirely new from scratch, we’ve got you covered.
