Tequila Cocktails

Bright, vegetal and salt's best friend.

Tequila distilled from 100% blue agave tastes of pepper, citrus and earth — a profile that loves lime and salt. Blanco is the mixing workhorse; reposado adds vanilla and oak for spirit-forward serves.

Always check the label for '100% agave'. Mixto tequilas bring harsh congeners that no amount of citrus can hide, and the price gap to real tequila is small.
