These refined tequilas and clever cocktail innovations bring luxury, craftsmanship, and convenience straight to your bar cart—no reservations required.

Dulce Vida Tequila: Certified Organic, Unapologetically Authentic

Pineapple Paloma Dulce Vida Tequila

Hailing from Austin, Texas, and produced in San Ignacio Cerro Gordo at Campanario (NOM 1443), Dulce Vida is tequila distilled to its cleanest core. This USDA-certified organic label uses 100% Blue Weber agave and forgoes additives entirely, offering a pure flavor profile with sustainable credentials. Available in 80- and 100-proof Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo expressions, the brand also features a 100-Proof Extra Añejo for those seeking greater depth.

Its lineup extends into flavor-infused options like Pineapple Jalapeño and Grapefruit, crafted with real fruit, plus ready-to-drink cocktails in sleek Tetra Paks. Margaritas and Palomas have never felt this effortless—or this elevated.

Cazcanes No. 7 Extra Añejo: Aged Elegance in a Glass

Cazcanes No. 7 Extra Añejo Delivers Barrel-Aged Sophistication with Every Sip

For a spirit that sips like a fine cognac, reach for Cazcanes No. 7 Extra Añejo. Aged for a minimum of three years, this extra-aged tequila unveils a luxurious layering of dried fruit, spice, vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak—all while preserving the integrity of its agave-forward foundation.

Each pour is the product of meticulous barrel selection and patient aging, resulting in a velvety texture that rewards slow sipping. A collector’s gem and a conversation piece in one hand-blown bottle.

Volcan De Mi Tierra: A Rare Tequila with Global Acclaim

Volcan’s Award-Winning Tequilas Capture Summer in Every Sip

Crafted at Single NOM 1523, Volcan De Mi Tierra is one of only five additive-free tequilas made at a distillery dedicated to a single brand—placing it among the rarest in the category. If you haven’t tried Volcan yet, you likely haven’t tasted craft tequila.

The brand uses three distinct distillation methods, including tahona-milled agave and wild yeast fermentation in open wood tanks, honoring tradition while pushing boundaries. Aged exclusively in new casks—a rarity in tequila—Volcan achieves layered depth without compromising purity.

This year, Volcan’s Blanco and Reposado each earned Double Gold at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, with Blanco shortlisted for Best-in-Class. It’s tequila made with integrity—and it shows in every sip.

Ritual Zero Proof Tequila Alternative: Spirit-Free, Flavor-Full

For those going booze-free without sacrificing the ritual, this award-winning non-alcoholic spirit captures tequila’s essence—minus the ABV. Designed as a 1:1 replacement in cocktails, Ritual Tequila Alternative brings earthy blue agave notes, a green pepper nose, and a subtle smoky burn.

It’s perfect for making a clean Margarita, Paloma, or any tequila-based favorite. While it’s not intended for sipping neat, it plays beautifully with sparkling water or in any shaken recipe. With zero alcohol and fewer calories, it’s a mindful choice for anyone seeking balance without blandness.
