Can you mix gin and tequila in a cocktail?
Cocktail Colin says:
Yes, you can mix gin and tequila in the same cocktail, but none of the drinks in our recommended list combines both spirits in one recipe.
If you want the same kind of bold, botanical plus agave feel, the best approach here is to pick a cocktail that scratches the itch from one side or the other.
For a tequila drink that nods to classic gin builds, start with Tequiliano. It is a Negroni style stirred serve that explicitly swaps gin for blanco tequila, giving you that bitter, vermouth driven structure with an agave backbone. If you like spirit forward, aromatic drinks, Rosita is another strong choice, using tequila reposado with vermouths and bitters for a similarly grown up profile.
If you are more after gin’s crisp, bright character, try Gin for a short, punchy, stirred cocktail, or go long and easy with Teaplanter.
If you simply want an interesting tequila split base sipper (even without gin), Eleven O'Six is the closest “something different” pick, combining tequila with cognac, Aperol and bitters.
