If the thought of tequila brings back wild memories of vomit-inducing shots with salt and lime, it’s time for a wake-up call: you’ve been drinking this delicious agave spirit all wrong, and quite frankly, you’re missing out.
Nowadays, most tequila is of the 100 per cent agave variety – a far cry from the budget mixto bottles poured in nightclubs back in the day. The very best brands available work with local agave farmers (jimadors) and distillers (maestro tequileros or mezcaleros) to produce high-quality, delicious spirits that are full-flavoured and artisanal in their approach, making them perfect for an elevated slow-sipping experience.
