TEQUILA GUIDE
For the uninitiated, you may not yet be acquainted with the various forms of alcohol that are harvested from the agave plant, known as tequila or mezcal. No problema. Here’s a quick little guide to get you on your way.
mezcal
Mezcal is any spirit that has been distilled from the nectar of the agave plant (a succulent native to Mexico and Texas). But like a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not always a square―tequila can be a mezcal, but a mezcal is not always a tequila!
blanco
Blanco tequila is freshly distilled from blue agave. Blanco, silver, or platinum, all are names for tequila in this pure form that have not been aged and retain their sweet bite.
reposado
Reposado translates to “rested.” These are tequilas that are aged two months to one year. The aging process softens the flavor, giving a toasty finish.
añejo
Meaning “aged,” these are tequilas aged for one to three years. A dark, complex, sipping tequila that retains the sweetness of agave with an added smoothness.
extra añejo
Any tequila aged at least three years is extra or ultra añejo. Peaty, sweet, and with a caramel, dark finish.
Brunch Drinks
Mimosa
Brut Champagne topped with orange juice.
