        What inspired you to create this cocktail? “A couple months ago, I got back from Hawaii and became obsessed with coconuts. With the sun coming out strong, I wanted to make a refreshing cocktail that would transport you to an oasis, while still highlighting the earthy, herbal notes you get from the Jose Cuervo® Tradicional® Reposado Tequila.”

        When would you serve this drink? “Best time to drink this would be after you have your coffee in the morning.” 

        What music would you pair it with? “Manu Chao or Buena Vista Social Club for sure! Sit back, relax the shoulders and just unwind.”

        What food would you pair it with? “Fish tacos...mmm I’m hungry now.” 

        Name the person (dead or alive) you’d like to make this cocktail for. “I would have liked to have made this cocktail for Ernest Hemingway and just shoot the shit.”
