The Orange Dream Tequila Cocktail mixes Exotico Reposado Tequila, orange juice, lime juice, honey syrup, almond extract, and vanilla extract for a slightly sweet drink with subtle spice. It’s the ideal libation for all your autumn events! Plus, it’s a great way to utilize one of the best tequilas, Exotico Tequila!

Step Up Your Cocktails with Exotico Tequila

For a quality cocktail, use premium ingredients like Exotico Tequila. This award-winning tequila is made in the region of Jalisco, Mexico by a four-generation family distillery – known as one of Mexico’s most respected tequila makers.

For the Orange Dream Tequila Cocktail, I used Exotico’s Reposado Tequila which includes tasting notes of vanilla, dry fruit, and spices, with a ﬁnish of oak and vanilla as well as hints of caramel and cinnamon. Try some for yourself and pick Exotico Tequila here!

Ingredients for the Orange Dream Tequila Cocktail

Exotico Reposado Tequila: This premium 100% agave tequila rested for six months in white oak bourbon barrels for an enhanced, yet mellow ﬂavor. With notes of vanilla, dry fruit, and spices. Order through Drizly here.
Fresh squeezed orange juice: You can squeeze or juice your own orange juice. Or you can pick some up at your local grocery store or juice bar. For this recipe, I used Natalie’s Orange Juice.
Lime juice: For the freshest citrus notes, use the juice from half of a lime.
Honey syrup: to create your honey syrup, add equal parts of your preferred brand of honey, I used Local Hive Honey and hot water. Stir the mixture well. P.S. this ingredient is a fall staple!
Almond extract: I used Simply Organic Almond Extract. You can find it online or at your grocery store.
Vanilla extract: I used Simply Organic Vanilla Extract. You can find it online or at the grocery store.
Orange slice, lime slice, vanilla bean, edible flower: garnish this dreamy tequila cocktail with an orange slice, lime slice, vanilla bean, and edible flower if desired.
