The secret to great tequila drinks? Choosing the right bottle for the job. Blanco tequila is unaged and vibrant, with fresh agave notes that are perfect for citrus-forward cocktails like a Margarita or Paloma.<\/p>\n

Reposado rests in oak barrels for a few months, adding a mellow warmth and soft spice that works beautifully in drinks like the Batanga or Rosita. A\u00f1ejo, on the other hand, is aged longer and delivers rich, deep flavours that are ideal for slow sippers, like a Tequila Negroni.<\/p>\n
