Orange You Glad It's Got Tequila?

A sophisticated tequila cocktail. (Nescafe Dolce Gusto)

Cooking Channel's Alie Ward and Georgia Hardstark know a thing or two about great cocktails. They say: The reposado tequila gives this cocktail some oaky depth, but the orange liqueur lends brightness and sweetness. The espresso has a smoky complexity and when stirred over ice and garnished with an orange peel, you have a rich and sophisticated sipper.
