Tequila is one of those things that goes well with anything — well, almost everything. With the exception of orange juice (maybe the one thing that tastes terrible when mixed with tequila), you can't really go wrong with different combinations. Whether you're a diehard tequila fan looking to try something new, a tequila newbie trying to mask the taste, or you're just tired of sipping on frozen margaritas, try one of these 10 new mixers the next time you want to get your tequila buzz on.
1. Bloody Mary mix. Swap out the vodka for tequila, and have yourself a Bloody Maria instead.

2. Apple juice. 2 ounces tequila + 4 ounces green or red apple juice + a dash of lemon juice = delicious.

3. Chocolate and espresso. Mix 1.5 ounces chocolate-infused tequila or liqueur (such as Patron XO Café Incendio) + 1 ounce milk + 3 brandy-soaked cherries for a drink that tastes like a Milky Way in a glass.
