There is no official best Tequila Rose drink. Tequila Rose is a strawberry cream liqueur, not tequila. Official tequilarose.com omitted standalone ABV US retail labels print 15% alc./vol. / 30 proof — unused as official. Cream liqueurs sit under NOM-006 / Casamigos 1609 / 1416 do not apply. A chilled shot is service talk, not a legal type. A 1.5-ounce pour at 15% is about 0.38 of one drink.
