Your Questions Answered Lemon Margarita: Tequila and Lemon Drink

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.
