Lady Red

The Lady Red was created for a dear friend of mine at the time who loved all things tequila. Red was one of her favorite colors and it also worked because Arkansas (Woo Pig).

This is sort of a tequila based twist on a cosmopolitan. It combines tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, cranberry juice, and ginger ale. Served up in a chilled coupe glass, this was my best selling drink amongst the female patrons that came into the bar.
