Mixed in a Margarita, enjoyed on the rocks or sipped straight, tequila is rapidly growing in popularity among spirits enthusiasts. The tequila category offers multiple variations to mix your cocktails including añejo, blanco and reposado tequilas each with their own flavor profile. Each variation stems from its length of aging. With the longest aging period, añejo, which translates to “old” in English, ages for up to four years and boasts a rich taste of vanilla and cinnamon. With a shorter aging, tequila reposado ages two to 12 months and features notes of vanilla with hints of oak and caramel. Tequila blanco (or plata or silver), is not aged and carries more peppery notes with a spicy finish. New to ABC shelves, Siempre Tequila, offers each type of tequila. Other new tequilas include these celebrity backed brands that offer a trio of tequilas: Deleon Blanco and Reposado, 818 Tequila Añejo and Codigo 1530 Tequila Blanco and Reposado.

Our Food Pairing Guide can help you put the final touches on your get togethers by finding the perfect spirit to complement your cookout favorites. Backyard burgers aren’t complete without a rum and cola or the botanical flavors of a gin and tonic along with a charcuterie board to snack on while you wait for the grill to heat up. When pairing cocktails and foods, you want to make sure that your flavors aren’t overpowering one another and instead add to their flavors.
