You wouldn’t shoot a $500 bourbon, right? The same rule applies to tequila. Good tequila is made to be sipped, savored, and appreciated. Here’s how to do it right.
1. Choose the Right Glass 🍸
Ditch the shot glass. Use a tulip-shaped snifter or Glencairn glass to concentrate aromas.
2. Observe the Color 👀
Blanco? Clear and crisp.
Reposado? Golden with light amber hues.
Añejo? Deep gold, sometimes almost copper.
3. Smell First, Sip Second 👃
Take a slow inhale. What do you smell? Agave? Vanilla? Oak? A good tequila should smell as good as it tastes.
4. Sip & Let It Sit 🎯
Take a small sip, let it rest on your tongue, and notice how it evolves. Tequila should never burn—it should linger with layers of flavor.
Final Pour
Next time, skip the lime and salt. A great tequila doesn’t need training wheels.
