Montezuma Tequila 700ml

Montezuma Tequila is a Mexican tequila made in the mixto style, a budget-friendly bottle built for mixing. Mixto tequila must take at least 51% of its sugars from blue agave, with the rest from other sugars, which gives a lighter, softer spirit than a 100% agave tequila. This is the 700ml bottle.

Montezuma is a long-running tequila brand, sold in silver and gold versions in several markets. Its job is simple: an affordable tequila for Margaritas, shots and long drinks, where lime, salt, juice and soda do much of the work. If you want a tequila to sip neat or to show off agave character, a 100% agave blanco or reposado is the better pick. If you are mixing a jug of Margaritas for a party or setting up shots, a mixto like Montezuma keeps the cost down.

The difference matters for how you use it. 100% agave tequilas are made only from the agave plant, and they tend to taste more vegetal, peppery and complex. Mixtos are lighter and more neutral, so they sit back in a cocktail rather than leading it.

Use it in a Margarita, Tequila Sunrise or Paloma, or keep it simple with soda water, fresh lime and a pinch of salt over ice. For a classic shot, serve it chilled with a lime wedge and salt on the side. It goes well with tacos, nachos and grilled chicken with salsa.
