Monterita

What is Monterita?

The Monterita is one of those cocktails that feels elegant without trying too hard. I honestly love how the Reposado tequila brings a soft warmth while the Amaro Montenegro slips in with that bittersweet citrus complexity. Together, they create a sip that feels both classic and unexpectedly modern.

There is something almost romantic about this combination. Perhaps it is the way the lime brightens everything or how the agave gives it just enough sweetness to round out the bitter edges. It is a cocktail that photographs beautifully, mixes quickly, and easily fits into summer menus, fall menus, or honestly any tequila forward collection.

Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.

Why You'll Love It?

• Rich and balanced with herbal orange notes that pair beautifully with Reposado tequila.
• Low sweetness that still feels smooth thanks to the delicate touch of agave.
• Unexpected flavor combo that feels elevated and always gets people curious.
