Tequila Rose Drinks
Tequila Rose is a liqueur made from tequila and strawberry liqueur. While used primarily in shooters -- drinks made in a shot glass and consumed very quickly -- many cocktails, and hot and frozen drinks, can be made from Tequila Rose as well. According to the Tequila Rose website, this liqueur is 15 percent alcohol and is produced by the McCormick Distilling Company in Missouri. Does this Spark an idea?
