Leave it to the Four Season’s Resort Hualalai to come up with a twist on the traditional tequila cocktail.  If you are a tequila connoisseur, then you will love pairing David Ravandi’s 1 2 3 line of certified organic tequilas with cucumber, fresh juices and just a slice of jalapeno for that extra kick. This cocktail, named the “Paniolo” by Doug Shulman, one of Four Season’s creative bartenders, uses Dos (2) Reposado. Try it!

INGREDIENTS:

1.5 ounces (you can substitute silver tequila)
