Agave In The Raw® is versatile, it’s not just for sweetening liquids. It is perfect for all of your sweetening needs, from baking to adding sweetness to beverages. Agave In The Raw® is naturally gluten-free and has a low glycemic index which makes it great for me and for this recipe.

Here is the Spicy Tequila Sunrise with Agave In The Raw®

Ingredients:

½-inch slice jalapeño pepper, with seeds
1 ounce fresh lime juice
1/2 ounce (1 tbsp) Agave In The Raw®
1 ½ ounces silver tequila (100 percent blue agave)
4 ounces fresh orange juice
1/2 ounce Pom Wonderful pomegranate juice
1/2 orange slice, for garnish
¼-inch jalapeno slice, for garnish

Ice

Club soda, optional

Directions:

In cocktail shaker or glass, muddle the jalapeno and lime. Add the agave, tequila, and orange juice. Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake just to chill.

Pour the pomegranate juice into a tall glass. Fill glass 3/4 with ice cubes. Gently strain the Spice Sunrise into the glass. Garnish with the orange and jalapeño slice.

Bare Spiced Cranberry Margarita

I love a good margarita, so I love this festive variation from Bare Organic Mixers:

Spiced Cranberry Pomegranate Margarita

Recipe by Bare Organic Mixers

Ingredients:

For Margaritas

¼ c Spiced Cranberry Simple Syrup
¾ c Bare Mixer’s Pomegranate Cranberry Cosmo
¼ c Bare Mixer’s Margarita
¾ c Silver Tequila
½ c Patron Citronage or Grand Marnier
Cinnamon Sticks
Sugared Cranberries
Green sugar for rimming glasses

For Spiced Cranberry Simple Syrup

3/4 c water
2/3 c agave nectar
2 Tbsp whole allspice
2 Tbsp whole cloves
4 cinnamon sticks
One 2″ fresh nob of ginger, peeled and sliced
2 c fresh cranberries, rinsed

Instructions:

For Simple Syrup

Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and stir over low heat until combined. Raise heat and simmer the mixture for about 5-6 minutes or until the cranberries start to split. Once most have split remove the pan from the heat and cover with a lid. Let sit for 2 hours for the flavors to infuse. After the two hours strain the mixture into a jar using a mesh strainer, pressing the mixture against the strainer to extract all of the flavor. Keep in a resealable container and chill completely until ready to use.

For Margaritas

Dip the rim of the glasses in a shallow bowl of the simple syrup and then immediately into a shallow bowl of green dyed sugar. Let dry completely. Once dry fill the glasses with ice. In a cocktail shaker with ice add 4 Tbsp of the spiced cranberry simple syrup, the tequila, orange liqueur, Bare Mixer’s Pomegranate Cranberry Cosmo and Bare Mixer’s Margarita. Cover and shake well then strain into the 4 glasses. Taste and add more simple syrup if desired. Garnish with cinnamon sticks and sugared cranberry skewers.
