Bonus Tip
When purchasing tequila, make sure the bottle says ‘100% blue agave’ or ‘100% blue weber agave’ . This ensures that the best and purest ingredients have been used to distill your tequila, from the Blue Weber Agave plant. Tequilas like ‘mixtos’ have been mixed with other ingredients during the distillation process – and can lead to unpleasant cocktails, and even more unpleasant headaches the next day!
