Matador

The Matador is a tequila-based cocktail. Less widely known than the margarita, its structure is similarly simple, with three primary ingredients: silver or blanco tequila, pineapple juice, and lime juice. Its chief coupling of pineapple and a single spirit resembles a Jackhammer, a variant of the Screwdriver which substitutes pineapple juice for orange juice to mix with vodka. Matadors are often presented differently, either in a cocktail (or martini) glass or a champagne flute.

Serve: Shaken into a cocktail glass, or chamagne flute

Garnish: lime slice, or twist

Ingredients:

1-1.5 parts silver or blanco tequila
2-3 parts pineapple juice
Juice of 1/2 lime

Prep:

Mix the ingredients in a shaker half full of ice. Strain and serve in a chilled cocktail glass or champagne flute.

Tip:

Sour mix may be used in place of lime juice, depending on preference and availability. Champagne flutes are also commonly used for serving
