Bonbon Tequila Cocktail – Sweet & Citrusy Tumbler Serve
A playful tequila cocktail that blends citrus and candy-like sweetness in a whisky tumbler. The Bonbon pairs smooth tequila blanco with triple sec and a touch of grenadine for a bright, fruity sip that’s easy to love.
The Sweet-Spirited Side of Tequila
The Bonbon Tequila Cocktail is for drinkers who like their tequila with a dash of fun. It takes the earthy crispness of tequila blanco, brightens it with triple sec, and finishes with a rosy hint of grenadine. The result: balanced sweetness, citrus zip, and an eye-catching hue.
