Why Olmeca Altos is the Best Choice for Preparing a Margarita Pitcher

Because the margarita is one of Mexico’s most emblematic drinks and, without a doubt, one of the most famous cocktails in the world. Hence the importance of choosing ingredients that are up to the task, and considering that tequila is the absolute protagonist, it only makes sense to use a high quality tequila.

Besides, considering that we are going to prepare a whole decanter, do we really want to take the risk of it not being perfect?

Your Questions Answered Margaritas

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.

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.
