    Añejo Soda pin image with Text

    Super similar to this Tequila Soda, but this time we are making it with Añejo Tequila! It has just a little more depth of flavor but is still a completely refreshing tequila cocktail. A squeeze of a fresh orange wedge compliments the flavors of Añejo perfectly. Cheers!

    Añejo Tequila

    There are three main types of Tequila:

    Silver/Blanco – this is clear tequila that hasn’t been aged at all. It has a nice crisp salty/limey flavor. Margarita on the Rocks is a great cocktail for Silver Tequila.

    Reposado – this is a blend of aged and unaged tequila. It is a great mild tequila that has just a little more flavor than silver, but not as much as Añejo. Roasted Strawberry Margarita is a perfect cocktail for Reposado.

    Añejo – this tequila is darker in color, having an amber hue, like a whiskey. It is an aged tequila and has beautiful flavors of vanilla and caramel. Añejo Old Fashioned is an excellent cocktail!

    If you are talking to a tequila purist then Añejo should ONLY be enjoyed on the rocks. Or in a more of an “up” style cocktail like an Añejo Manhattan.

    I think that is true to a point…. if you are buying a $100+ bottle of Añejo you better damn well only be drinking it on the rocks or straight up.

    But if you have a nice $25 bottle of Jose Cuervo Añejo by ALL MEANS get to mixing!!

    How To Make an Añejo Soda

    Start by filling a rocks size glass (8-10 oz.) with ice or use one large ice cube.

    Pour in 1-1.5 oz Añejo Tequila.

    Top with 3 oz. soda water.

    • a rocks size glass full of crushed ice
    • pouring Añejo tequila into an ice filled glass
    • Topping Añejo tequila with soda water

    Finish with an orange wedge or wheel.

    Give it a light stir and enjoy.

    Cocktail Tips

    • For a really great cocktail you have two options when it comes to ice- fill your glass to the RIM with crushed ice, or you one giant clear ice cube! (in the summer I want a glass filled with ice, in winter I like one large cube. Weird, I know)
    • Since you are mixing the Añejo with soda aim for a mid priced Añejo tequila, around $25. We like Jose Cuervo or Espolon.
    • Orange is the perfect citrus to pair with this cocktail.
    • Use a plain sparkling water to mix in your cocktail.

    Añejo Soda

    Just like this Tequila Soda Recipe, but this time we are making it with Anejo Tequila. It takes on the beautiful flavors of vanilla and caramel from the aged tequila, but is still completely refreshing!

    Ingredients

    • 1 oz Anejo Tequila (up to 1.5 oz for a stronger cocktail)
    • 3 oz sparkling water (seltzer water or club soda will work too)
    • fresh orange slice
    • ice
    Prevent your screen from going dark while you are cooking!

    Instructions

    • Fill a rocks glass (about 8-10 oz in size) with crushed ice or with one large ice cube.
    • Pour in the Anejo Tequila, then top with 3 oz sparkling water.
    • Squeeze in an orange slice.
    • Give it a stir and enjoy your cocktail!

    Notes:

    Añejo Tequila – is an aged tequila with a dark amber color. It has flavors of caramel and vanilla. Since you are mixing this with soda I recommend a mid range Añejo, around $25 a bottle. Jose Cuervo or Espolon both have a great option!
    Silver Tequila– to make this cocktail with silver tequila head over to this recipe for Tequila Soda.
