What Juice goes well with Tequila?

Tequila stands out as a remarkably adaptable spirit, particularly when combined with various juices. Indeed, some of its most celebrated cocktails are created in this manner: Tequila Sunrise, Tequila Sunset, Paloma… even the Margarita! Whilst tastes differ, here we showcase the most favoured juices to blend with tequila and the iconic cocktails they give rise to — leaving it completely down to you to select the one that best matches your palate.

Tip: for optimal results, utilise freshly pressed juice from ripe fruit. Employ a juicer and experience cocktails at an entirely different level.

The finest juices to blend with tequila

When it concerns tequila, the proper juice can entirely elevate your cocktail. From enduring favourites such as the Margarita to adventurous variations featuring tropical fruits, each combination provides a distinctive harmony of flavours. In what follows, we examine the most sought-after juice choices and the cocktails you can craft with them.

Fresh lime juice

Squeeze a lime, reserving one of its wedges for garnish, and you’ll have the most celebrated tequila cocktail: the Margarita. It appears rather straightforward to be true, yet sometimes straightforward needn’t be ordinary.

You can also utilise this juice to create a Blue Margarita, an exotic twist on the classic, or indeed the Cucumber Margarita:

Strawberry or lemon juice

We simply couldn’t overlook the strawberry version of the margarita. Strawberry juice, together with orange and lime juice, is amongst the most frequently used in cocktails. Its intense sweetness pairs beautifully with the robust flavour of tequila.

Another variation worth trying is the Lemon Margarita, prepared with lemon juice. While it follows the classic Margarita’s structure, it carries its own charm, with the sharp, zesty brightness of lemon lending a refreshing and subtly tangy edge. It’s a spirited alternative for anyone keen to enjoy a familiar favourite with a citrus twist.

Passion fruit juice

This represents a less commonly employed blend when it comes to tequila cocktails, but if you’ve grown weary of always sampling the same beverages, this could be an excellent choice.

With it you can prepare the Passion Fruit Margarita, a flavour that’s both refreshing and distinct from its other “sisters”.

You can attempt this version – you’ll only require a jigger and a cocktail shaker:

Orange juice or pineapple foam

One of the standout tequila cocktails, though still relatively unfamiliar to many, is the Blood Orange Margarita. This vivid twist brings together tequila and the sharp sweetness of blood orange juice, resulting in a strikingly colourful and refreshingly bold take on the classic Margarita.

Lastly, you could try incorporating pineapple juice into your tequila cocktails with Altos Plata. This brings a tropical sweetness that complements the spirit’s natural agave character perfectly. The outcome is a smooth, fruity and revitalising drink, ideal for sunny days or a celebratory occasion.

Olmeca Altos, regardless of what you blend it with

Whilst a good blend is essential for preparing quality cocktails, if you don’t begin with an exceptional tequila, your cocktails will never reach that next level. Olmeca Altos is that adaptable, premium tequila. The companion with which your beverages will taste entirely different. Savour the juice you favour most with our superior quality tequila. Experience Olmeca Altos and achieve cocktails of an altogether different standard.
