Tequila y MÁS

• Tequila 100 % Blue AgaveUSD 9.00

  We keep a changing selection of Tequila on hand. For the uninitiated, Tequila is a Mexican liquor made from the blue agave plant in the area surrounding the city of Tequila & in the highlands (Los Altos) region of the central western Mexican state of Jalisco. Silver (AKA Blanco, Plata, White, Platinum) is its purest form. Clear and un-aged, the true flavors and the intensity of the Agave are present as well as the natural sweetness. Reposado (golden-hued after it's rested & aged in wood barrels for up to a year, striking a balance between the agave and wood flavors) (+$1); Añejo (amber-hued after being aged 1 year or longer producing a smoother, more complex flavor) (+$3); Extra Añejo (mahogany in color after being aged 2 years or longer creating an ultra smooth, complex flavor) (+$8) We recommend sipping these to enjoy their amazing flavor
