How to Serve the Agave Sour

Employ a martini glass or a short, old-fashioned tumbler to serve the Agave Sour. These styles of glassware enhance the sophistication of the cocktail and enable you to admire its colour and consistency. Add a visually striking element to your presentation by incorporating lemon or orange slices to suit your taste. 

Should you wish to include an additional flourish, you might dust a touch of sugar or cinnamon atop the cocktail before serving. You may follow these suggestions, but always bear in mind to incorporate your personal flair and imagination to present an Agave Sour that will astound your guests.

Your Questions Answered Agave Sour with Olmeca Altos

Can I use Altos in cocktails other than Margaritas?

Oh, definitely. Altos levels up everything from Palomas to Tequila Sunrises — even an Old Fashioned if you’re feeling creative. If it’s got a glass, Altos belongs in it.

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

Plata’s fresh and vibrant, Reposado’s smooth with a touch of oak, and Añejo’s rich, deep, and full of character. Three tequilas, three moods — all pure Altos.

Is Altos Tequila made sustainably?

Yep — we’re big on doing things the right way. From recycling agave fibres to reusing water at the distillery, Altos keeps it clean and green. Great tequila, made with a conscience.

What’s the best way to drink Altos Tequila?

However you like it. It’s a knockout in a Margarita or Paloma, but just as good neat if you want to taste that craftsmanship. Whatever the occasion, Altos always brings the good vibes.

What makes Altos Tequila different from other tequilas?

Altos isn’t just another tequila — it’s the real deal. Made from 100% Blue Agave grown high in Jalisco, slow-cooked, copper-distilled, and crafted by bartenders who know their stuff. The result? A tequila that’s smooth, bold, and built for mixing.
