MIXING & SERVING OUR AWARD WINNING TEQUILA
In Mexico, the most traditional way to drink tequila is neat, without lime and salt. It is popular in some regions to drink fine tequila with a side of sangrita a sweet, sour, and spicy drink typically made from orange juice, grenadine (or tomato juice), and hot chiles.
Equal-sized shots of tequila and sangrita are sipped alternately, without salt or lime. Another popular drink in Mexico is the bandera (flag, in Spanish), named after the Flag of Mexico, it consists of three shot glasses, filled with lime juice (for the green), white tequila, and sangrita (for the red).
When served neat (without any additional ingredients), tequila is most often served in a narrow shot glass called a caballito (little horse, in Spanish), but can often be found in anything from a snifter to a tumbler. The Consejo Regulador del Tequila approved an “official tequila glass” in 2002 called the Ouverture Tequila glass, made by Riedel. The margarita glass, frequently rimmed with salt or sugar, is a staple for the entire genre of tequila-based mixed drinks, including the margarita.
