How to Drink Agave Spirits
The right method is the one that helps you notice—and enjoy—what is in the glass.
01
Choose a glass
A small cup, tasting glass, or wine glass all work.
02
Try room temp
It usually reveals the most aroma.
03
Smell gently
Do not bury your nose in a high-proof pour.
04
Sip small
Let your palate adjust, then return.
05
Add water
A few drops can open aroma and soften heat.
With food
Try bright blancos with seafood and citrus, earthy spirits with grilled foods, and aged tequila with roasted dishes or nutty desserts.
In cocktails
Good agave spirits belong in cocktails. Match the intensity to the recipe and let the base spirit remain visible.
