Simultaneously coy and assertive, this drink is well balanced yet boldly flavored. It’s great made to order but would do equally well as a punch at your next party.

What to buy: Duggan McDonnell uses Partida Tequila, but any 100 percent agave reposado tequila will do.

Velvet Falernum is a curious liqueur that many bars mix into drinks for an unexpected kick.

If you’ve made your own ginger beer (and we think you should), then go ahead and use it here. Otherwise, look for a ginger beer that suits your taste. We prefer those with a nice note of sweet and a good kick of ginger, like Regatta.
