Grilled Lemon and Reposado Tequila Cocktail is a really delicious cocktail for anyone who loves tequila! Grilling fresh cut lemon brings out their sweetness and essential oils, which mixes perfectly with the vanilla flavors of reposado tequila. Finally, the additional of a little agave balances all the flavors.

Everything blended together and served over ice gives you one of the best “sipping tequila” drinks EVER!

Tequila

Since this is a very tequila forward cocktail, similar to drinking Tequila on the Rocks or a Manhanttan or Old Fashioned, you want to use a quality tequila. For a decent mid-quality Reposado tequila you will be in the $30-$60 per bottle range.

Here are some of the Reposado brands that we have tried and love:

  • Casamigos Reposado $$$$
  • Patron Reposado $$$
  • Don Julio $$$
  • Cazadores Reposado $ (under $30 per bottle, but is a very decent reposado!!)

    (agave is very sweet, so you probably only need about ½ tsp)
