Tres Generaciones Reposado
After being invited to a Tres Generaciones tasting recently, and experiencing their Reposado offering I wanted to see how it would work in some cocktails.
With a flavor profile overflowing with flavors of cocoa, sweet chocolate, banana orange zest spice, it’s one of those tequilas that can be both sipped neat or enable cocktails to almost jump of the glass.
One of my first experiences with spirits that wasn’t a beer as a young adult was the infamous Mudslide. A frozen horrid concoction combining kahlua, vodka, baileys and chocolate syrup. Since my life has become engrossed in cocktails I’ve developed a hatred of this drink as I feel it gives a bad name to spirits.
With that in mind, I’ve been dying to take a crack at a revision of the mudslide. Given the great flavor profile of the Tres Generaciones Reposado, it lended itself to this project very easily.

To infuse the Chai Tea with the Reposado, let sit in air tight container for about 15 minutes.
Do not let sit overnight as the tea will begin to overpower the flavors of the tequila.
