3 tequila and food pairings for any celebration
Tequila tasting... margarita night... whatever the occasion, you need good drinks and good food!
Karina Sánchez Huitrón, our tequila guru, shares her tips on the best tequila and food pairings your guests will absolutely love.
“Citrus flavoured foods pair best with Blanco tequila, lightly spiced and mild flavoured ingredients are perfect with Reposados tequila, and semi-bitter flavours are great with Añejo tequila.”

01. Don Julio Blanco Tequila
Crisp, clean, with subtle hints of citrus and vanilla. For your friends who are all about the blue agave flavour, Don Julio Blanco tequila is the one. Mix it into a Margarita for the ultimate party sip.
Best paired with: tacos with shrimp and avocado.
02. Casamigos Añejo Tequila
Casamigos Añejo tequila is an awesome balance of sweetness coated with hints of spice and barrel oak. It’s designed to be enjoyed neat or in a long drink.
Best paired with: Mexican style churros (simple choux pastry fried with hot oil) and topped with cinnamon.
03. Don Julio Reposado Tequila
Mellow in flavour and with a rich, smooth finish. Don Julio Reposado tequila is aged to perfection. It’s the ultimate choice for those who prefer their tequila aged, of course.
Best paired with: Tacos al Pastor (tacos made with spit-grilled pork) grilled pineapple, shrimp & cheese taco with poblano pepper.
It's time to get mixing
