Mis Amigos Chocolate Tequila

Product Information

Everything Fortaleza does is done with quality in mind, even down to the individually blown glass bottles. It’s a brand that proudly showcases its origin from start to finish, and it’s definitely an unmissable tequila to sample.

Not only was it more upper mid-shelf in price points, Libre Spirits Mint Chocolate tequila had a mature, contemplative flavor. I figured the aging Hipsters or coffee snobs that the Pacific Northwest is known for would be its best target demographic. The client who gave me the bottle was a self-proclaimed “Foodie/Coffee Snob.” In any demographic, while not bad; it’s a niche spirit with an acquired taste. As of right now, there is not a chocolate tequila on the market. However, there are many recipes online for how to make your own chocolate tequila at home.

Dos Lunas started producing tequila after its founder, Richard C. Poe II, watched a group of people visibly cringe after drinking the spirit in a bar. The brand’s goal was to create delicious-tasting tequila that was enjoyable to drink. It uses a “cold filtration process,” believed to produce lighter-bodied, sweeter spirits. Reposado: Reposado translates to “rested” and refers to tequila that’s left to age between two months to a year. Our methodology to select and rank the best tequila brands in the world The Tequila Blanco is one of the smoothest silvers on the market, offering semi-sweet agave notes with a hint of pepper throughout. On the nose, inhale grapefruit and green apple notes and wait for a final hint of almond. As the name may suggest, this isn’t just extra anejo - it’s ultra anejo. Aged for five years in previously used sherry wood casks from Spain, Ultra Anejo has an amber color and silky texture. A whiff of this, and you’ll immediately sense the sherry wood, as well as some fruit and caramel. Taste wise, it’s rich, full-bodied and syrupy. Clase Azul, being the quality-obsessed brand that it is, produces the gorgeous bottles by hand and only in limited quantities, so it’s strongly suggested that if you see one, grab it!

Piña: The name of the middle of the agave plant, which typically looks very similar to a pineapple. These can grow up to the size of a small car. Named after its distinctly chocolatey notes, this delightful medium-bodied red wine tastes of a jammy range of berried fruits – including plums and cherries – with a subtle peppery feel. And so that quality is always at its heart, its blend is changed every vintage, which means that it’s made in very limited quantities in marvellous Mediterranean climes. This Manchester-based distillery really is big on experimentation, which makes for the most characterful Easter drinks offering. They’re the first to ever distil rum with ruby chocolate - known as the fourth kind of chocolate, with its vibrant reddish-pink colour and intense fruity berry taste - to give a brand-new Easter taste experience.

Is There A Chocolate Tequila?

It's a delicate dance when pairing two seemingly disparate textures and flavors, but tequila and chocolate have more in common than you might imagine. That's because cacao and blue agave inherently harbor complementary flavor profiles, according to Jaime Salas, Head of Agave Advocacy at Proximo Spirits, creating a "lovely marriage when brought together."

Grand Mayan is an exciting tequila that proves that, sometimes, appearances are spot on after all. It has won awards both for taste and presentation over the last few years and promises an extraordinary, smooth-tasting drink served in a beautiful bottle.

The orange juice and crushed ice should be topped off. What Goes With A Tequila Shot?

Clase Azul's bottles are all beautiful works of art on their own: this one is inlaid with pure ... [+] platinum, sterling silver and 24-carat gold. (Dino gomez 2010) Clase Azul raises expectations with its attention to detail on the outside, and these expectations are fulfilled when it comes to sipping the rested tequila, too. It’s a popular choice that’s known for being worthy of far more than its price point would suggest. Mixto: Unless your bottle of tequila states that it contains 100% agave, it’s a mixto tequila. This term literally translates to “mixed” and refers to a tequila that’s made with a combination of agave juice and cane sugar juice. It means the tequila contains more than 51% Blue Weber agave but less than 100% and is likely of lesser quality. It also comes at a lower price point.
