It’s World Tequila Day on July 24th, and we’re raising a glass to flavour, craft, and good times. Whether you like your tequila smoky and citrusy or sharp and fizzy, two standout bars, MURO and Tommy’s have something delicious to offer.

Each place brings its unique vibe to the table. MURO, a cocktail bar known for its precise craftsmanship, offers a refreshing classic with a refined edge. On the other hand, Tommy’s, Bengaluru’s newest chill-out spot, leans into bold flavours with a no-fuss approach.

Let’s dive into their tequila specials  and yes, they’ve even shared the recipes so you can try them at home!

MURO: The Paloma – A Refreshing Citrus Hit

Bar Manager Sahil Essani mixes up a refined Paloma that’s everything you want in a summer drink, fresh, citrusy, slightly smoky, and so refreshing you’ll want more than one.

This version of the Paloma blends Patrón Silver, Cruz de Fuego Espadín Mezcal, grapefruit, and just the right touch of salt and soda. It’s bold, bright, and made for sunshine.

Paloma Recipe:

• 60 ml Blanco Tequila
  

• 5 ml Fresh Lime Juice
  

• 5 ml Sugar Syrup
  

• 20 ml Grapefruit Juice
  

• Top with Soda Water
  

• Garnish: Grapefruit slice
  

Whether you're sipping it at MURO or shaking it up at home, it’s Paloma time all the way.

Tommy’s: Two Ways to Tequila — Margarita & Batanga

At Tommy’s, Senior Bartender Yaani Khuvung brings you two standout tequila drinks that are bold in taste but easy to enjoy.

First up, the Tommy’s Margarita – clean, classic, and zesty. Tequila meets super lemon, agave, and a touch of saline, topped with a sea salt rim and lime wedge for that sharp, satisfying finish.

• 20 ml Super Lemon
  

• 10 ml Agave
  

• 2.5 ml Saline

Then there’s the Batanga — fizzy, fun, and full of attitude. It mixes tequila with super lemon and a splash of Thumbs Up, and it’s garnished with celery salt and a lime wedge.

• 45 ml Tequila
  

• 15 ml Super Lemon
