Olmeca Altos Plata is the supermarket tequila to buy for margarita lovers, according to drinks expert Becky Paskin. The bottle, which has won countless awards, is praised for its performance in the classic cocktail.
Why Olmeca Altos Plata Stands Out
“Olmeca Altos Plata is known as the bartender’s tequila: not only is it founded by bartenders, it’s voted time and again as the world’s best for making margaritas,” says Paskin. The tequila is crafted from 100 per cent agave in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico.
Paskin describes it as “a bright, citrus-forward and herbaceous tequila that’s perfectly balanced with lingering notes of cooked agave and a touch of black pepper, making it a must-have for citrus-forward cocktails.”
Margarita Appeal and Celebrity Popularity
A good margarita strikes a balance between sweet, sour and salt, with tequila providing the backbone and lime bringing a bright, refreshing kick. The spirit has attracted celebrity devotees in recent years, from Kendall Jenner’s 818 Tequila to George Clooney’s Casamigos.
Margaritas are an easy crowd-pleaser for dinner parties or gatherings, particularly because a big batch can be mixed in advance. The Olmeca Altos Plata is rated four stars out of five, with the note that it may be too simple for those looking for a sipping tequila.
Product Details
The tequila is a Blanco classification, produced in Los Altos, Mexico, with an ABV of 38% and a 70cl size.
