With Red Bull choosing to launch its new organics line in Raleigh they called in the masters of mixology, the Cocktail Bandits to create a few tasty recipes. Johnny Caldwell and Taneka Reaves are the dynamic duo that travel the globe advocating for the food and beverage community from a feminine, urban perspective. Here’s one of our favorite recipes…
Tequila Bandit
• 1.5 oz. tequila blanco
• .5 oz. orange juice
• .25 oz. lime juice
