Chivas Regal 13 Year Old Extra - Tequila Casks
Back in the 19th century, John and James Chivas were known for creating flavour, importing spirits and spices from all over to their Aberdeen Emporium to experiment with. This spirit of innovation is what inspired the Chivas Extra 13 collection and here we have a blended Scotch whisky that features a portion of spirit finished in Tequila barrels.
The brand has created not one, but TWO signature serves for this whisky, an Extra Paloma and the Extra Michelada, and the recipes for both are below.
Extra Paloma
Ingredients:
45ml Chivas Extra 13 Tequila Cask
20ml Grapefruit Juice
10ml Lime Juice
10ml Agave Syrup
Soda Water to top
Grapefruit slice to garnish
Method:
Shake all ingredients together except for the soda water. Strain into a tall glass filled with ice and top with soda water. Garnish with grapefruit slice and serve.
Pro Tip: Shaking the Paloma ingredients together with ice is crucial for breaking down the enzymes of the grapefruit juice for a smoother drink.
Extra Michelada
Ingredients:
45ml Chivas Extra 13 Tequila Cask
20ml Tomato Juice
10ml lime juice
10ml Beer
Hot spices
Method:
Stir all the ingredients together with ice in a mixing vessel then strain into a chilled cordial glass. Finish by garnishing with a slice of lime.
