Mixologist Bex Wyant highlights the fiery character of Tequila Zarpado Reaper in two bold cocktails that walk the line between smoky depth and bright, spicy citrus.
Crafted in small batches from 100% Blue Weber agave, Tequila Zarpado is known for its smooth, authentic flavor and adventurous spirit—qualities that shine even brighter in the brand’s new limited-edition Reaper expression, infused with bold heat from Carolina Reaper peppers.
Whether you’re in the mood for something dark and aromatic or light with a fiery kick, these recipes deliver the ideal mix of flavor and flair.
Preparation
- Combine all ingredients into a mixing glass.
- Add ice and stir to chill.
- Use a smoke top to smoke a chilled coupe glass.
- Then strain into the final glass.
- Garnish with orange zest.
