El Mayor Blanco Tequila, an award-winning spirit hailed as 'the best I’ve ever tasted' by shoppers, has dropped below £30 on Amazon ahead of National Tequila Day on Friday, July 24. The price has been cut from £32.99 to £27.50, saving customers 17%. With garden parties, barbecues, and summer gatherings on the horizon, this offer provides an accessible way to sample a premium tequila that has garnered multiple international accolades.
Handcrafted in Jalisco, Mexico
Produced by the Gonzalez family, who have been crafting tequila for four generations, El Mayor Blanco is made using 100% mature Blue Weber agave, water, and heirloom yeast. Its flavour is described as 'floral with a hint of spice,' designed to highlight the fresh, naturally sweet character of agave without added sugars. Due to this absence of sugars, the brand claims tequila is among the 'cleanest' spirits to consume.
Margaritas Lead Summer Cocktail Trends
The timing of the discount aligns with Bacardi's annual Cocktail Trends Report, which predicts margaritas will be among the most sought-after cocktails of 2026. Increasing numbers of drinkers are ditching gin and vodka in favour of agave-based spirits, making this discounted bottle perfect for summer entertaining. El Mayor has also unveiled a Blueberry Margarita recipe, described as a 'perfect summer refresher,' which calls for 50ml El Mayor Blanco Tequila, 20ml fresh lime juice, and 20ml blueberry syrup, shaken and strained over ice into a salt-rimmed glass.
Shopper Reviews: 'Smooth, Fresh, and Fantastic in a Margarita'
One Amazon customer wrote: 'I can honestly say this is by far the best tequila I have ever tasted. It exceeded my expectations in every way. Unlike other tequila it has a great taste, and indeed smell and is a fantastic choice for sipping, with or without a mixer.' Another reviewer, a whiskey drinker, commented: 'Wow! It's incredibly smooth with citrusy notes and a very clean aftertaste, perfect to relax with in the garden.' A third noted that 'on sale, this is unbeatable,' adding: 'It easily competes with Patron and Casamigos, but at a much better price point. It's really smooth and balanced but the agave notes still come through beautifully.' A further five-star review stated: 'Great tasting, very smooth tequila blanco. A solid alternative to Patron or Don Julio blanco. Super drinkable neat and fantastic in a margarita.'
Other Tequila Cocktails and Alternatives
For those seeking variety, the Sparkling Paloma blends 50ml El Mayor Reposado with grapefruit soda and cava, while the Albatross offers an Old Fashioned-style drink using El Mayor Añejo.
