Apple
While it doesn’t hide the spirit, apple juice does highlight its flavors in a balanced way. You can make a simple drink with two ounces of tequila, ice, and apple juice.
Strawberry
Strawberry flavors tend to be on the sweeter side, making sipping any spirit easier. The juice and tequila can be enjoyed in numerous ways, such as a margarita.
Grapefruit
The sweet and tart flavors of grapefruit resemble those of tequila, though you may want an additional sweetener. One famous cocktail that uses the pair is a Paloma.
Orange
Orange is a sweet citrus juice that pairs wonderfully with tequila. In a tequila sunrise, the spirit is enhanced by orange juice, grenadine, and cherry and orange garnishes.
Pineapple
Like citrus fruits, pineapple has a sweet, bright flavor with a zing and an acidic aftertaste. You can easily combine tequila and pineapple for a two-ingredient cocktail.
