FAQ's
We've collated some quick fire Q&A's on the question to help you find exactly what you're looking for.
What is tequila?
Tequila is a distilled spirit made from the blue agave plant, primarily produced in the area surrounding the city of Tequila in Mexico. It offers a distinct flavor profile, ranging from earthy and sweet to spicy and vibrant.
What types of tequila are best for cocktails?
Blanco (or silver) tequila is often used in cocktails due to its pure, agave-forward flavor. Reposado and añejo tequilas are aged and can add complexity and depth, making them suitable for more sophisticated cocktail recipes.
How do you properly layer a Tequila Sunrise?
To layer a Tequila Sunrise, pour grenadine slowly over the back of a spoon into the glass with orange juice and tequila. This allows it to settle at the bottom, creating the sunrise effect as it gradually mixes.
What are popular mixers for tequila cocktails?
Popular mixers for tequila include lime juice, orange juice, grapefruit soda, and agave syrup. These mixers complement tequila's unique flavors and are commonly used in cocktails like margaritas and palomas.
Can tequila cocktails be low in calories?
Yes, tequila cocktails can be low in calories by using fresh juices, low-calorie mixers, or simply enjoying tequila neat or on the rocks. Tequila itself has fewer calories than many other spirits when consumed without added sugars or syrups.
