How to mix it?

  • Mix ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, add ice up to halfway. Add the tequila, grapefruit liqueur or strawberry/raspberry liqueur, lime juice and simple syrup. Shake: Cover the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This will mix and cool the ingredients evenly. Strain and serve: Place a strainer in the top of the cocktail shaker and pour the mixture into the prepared glass with ice. If you prefer to avoid the pulp of the grapefruit juice or berries, you can also use an additional strainer when pouring the cocktail into the glass.

Your Questions Answered Margaritas

What makes Altos Tequila different from other tequilas?

Altos isn’t your average tequila — it’s the real thing. Made from 100% Blue Agave grown in Jalisco’s highlands, slow-cooked, copper-distilled, and created by bartenders who get it. Smooth, bold, and made to mix right.

What’s the best way to drink Altos Tequila?

Any way you want. It’s a winner in a Margarita or Paloma, but it also shines straight up if you’re all about flavour. Whatever the moment, Altos always sets the tone.

Is Altos Tequila made sustainably?

Absolutely — we’re serious about sustainability. We recycle agave fibers, reuse water, and cut down on waste wherever we can. Great tequila, zero guilt.

What’s the difference between Plata, Reposado, and Añejo?

Plata’s crisp and lively, Reposado’s smooth and rounded, and Añejo’s bold, rich, and full of depth. Three styles, one unmistakable Altos spirit.

Can I use Altos in cocktails other than Margaritas?

Of course. Altos steps up in any mix — Palomas, Tequila Sunrises, even an Old Fashioned if you’re in the mood to experiment. If it pours, Altos fits.
