I created these recipes to highlight Los Feliz' extensive tequila selection and show the versatility of tequila. For the recipes, I wanted to highlight four major taste sensations -- Savory, with the Chai Tea cocktail, Sweet with the Indian Summer Watermelon Mojito and the Hibiscus Margarita, Spicy with the Jalepeno Cilantro Margarita, and Sour with the Tequila Fizz.
Each of the drinks range from the more complex flavors, to the simple and traditional and easy to recreate at home. Different tequila brands can be substituted for the ones I recommend here, but you should stick within the same category of tequila recommended.
Lastly, I'd encourage you to find ingredients that are the freshest possible, and organic, and I'd recommend shopping at local farmer's markets to find fresh and interesting ingredients. For example, for a fun twist in the mojito, try a lemon cucmber, which I found this week at the greenmarket.
New York City tequila bar Los Feliz (109 Ludlow St.) is an intriguing multilevel Taqueria and Tequileria in Manhattan's Lower East Side, featuring New York City's most impressive tequila list, with more than 150 makes. The restaurant also serves a seasonal, gourmet Mexican menu prepared by Chef Julieta Ballesteros. The space is divided into three levels, The Taqueria, The Cobble Room, and The Lounge. Each room provides a distinctively unique atmosphere and experience - from an intimate dinner to a late night dance party.

watched some whole PBS thing on tequila production in Mexico(field to bottle) and then realized I had a near-full bottle in the cupboard. So I had to toast my education of tequila production in Mexico(and
almost ready for another bottle).
