As much as we love a classic Margarita, we also love a new experience. AI is a wonderful wingman for suggesting something different, using your favourite tequila flavours as a starting point.

So, we gave BarGPT a swirl.

It’s a little clunky, but great if you add a dash of your own imagination into the mix. Registration is free and you get two free cocktail creations. Otherwise you can simply take a look at some of the cocktail recipes already in there.

Let me introduce you to the AI inspired Smoked Dragon’s Breath

Ingredients

2 oz smoked jalapeño-infused tequila

1 oz dragon fruit puree

0.75 oz fresh lime juice

0.5 oz agave syrup

A dash of smoked paprika

A pinch of ground black pepper

Ice cubes

Dragon fruit slice or jalapeño wheel for garnish

Instructions

1. To create the smoked jalapeño-infused tequila, char a few fresh jalapeños over an open flame until blistered, then slice and add them to a bottle of quality blanco tequila. Seal and let it infuse for 24 hours, then strain out the jalapeños.

2. In a shaker, combine the infused tequila, dragon fruit puree, lime juice, agave syrup, a dash of smoked paprika, and a pinch of black pepper.

3. Add ice cubes and shake vigorously until well chilled.

4. Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass and garnish with a slice of dragon fruit.

You can also tell BarGPT about your cocktail party, wedding or dinner party menu and it will create a signature cocktail for your event.

It’s a bit of fun. But so is getting into the kitchen or behind the bar and just making up your own concoction through trial and error. Remember, always use a good quality, premium tequila whether it’s Blanco, Reposado or the bolder Añejo cousins.
