The year 2022 was a relatively excellent one for the alcohol sector. The global value of all alcoholic beverages has surpassed pre-pandemic levels, showing how quickly the market recovered. We anxiously anticipate the trends in the drinks industry that will emerge in the coming year because agave and whisky spirits both experienced growth this past year, and the TTB also introduced new categories and rules. Will the Pornstar Martini eventually display its star power to Americans? Will we go back to drinking at home like in 2020? Let’s find out in this blog about the Best Tequila Trends for 2023.

The ‘Rita with Tequila and Beyond
In most areas, margaritas still reign supreme, but artisan and traditional tequila beverages are catching up. One is ranch water, a straightforward concoction of tequila or mezcal, lime juice, and Topo Chico or another sparkling water. Its origins are in West Texas, a region that cattle ranchers have long favored.
Chicago’s Big Star provides a House Ranch of its own. With lime juice, Topo Chico, El Tosoro tequila, a splash of orange bitters, and a grapefruit peel expressed on top, the water is carbonated by a machine. Customers have loved it, according to bar director Laurent Schroeder-Lebec. Bartenders have started to describe the drink as “wild” as soon as Big Star started selling its ranch water, which costs $11. The Margarita has a sort of rival in the midst. Try Biggies Buzzballz Tequila ‘rita, a drink mixes like that don’t come along very often.
The Whistler in Chicago aims to serve some liquid heat, especially during the cold. Its well-known Raspberry Beret, created with Blanco tequila, dry vermouth, egg white, raspberry syrup, lemon, and habanero tincture, fits the description. The Raspberry Beret costs $13. Alex Barbatsis, head bartender at The Whistler, asserts that if you list hot tequila on a menu, it will become a bestseller in no time. The soothing flavor profile is popular among people.
Clase Azul Reposado Tequila
A representation of Mexican tradition and culture is Clase Azul Tequila Reposado. Our ultra-premium reposado tequila is distinct and unmatched because it is made from 100% Blue Weber Agave that has been slow-cooked.
Clase Azul Tequila Reposado is expertly matured for eight months in casks that formerly held American whisky, giving it its distinctive hazelnut and vanilla tastes as well as an incredibly smooth finish. You could serve it with a rich cut of pork, like hog shoulder or pork ribs with acidic sauce.
Its recognizable “feathered” design and hand-painted cobalt blue finish make its decanter our most recognizable symbol. Buy it or order at online liquor shop to get free and easy home delivery.
Clase Azul Gold Tequila
There is a lovely moment just before dusk when the light embraces the darkness. These spirits were inspired by this priceless moment by pouring into a dazzling glass decanter fused to a night-colored ceramic base.
A blend of Clase Azul Tequila Plata, a unique reposado tequila aged in French oak casks, and an Extra Aejo aged in American whisky casks and finished in sherry casks, Clase Azul Gold Tequila is an unrivaled Tequila Joven.
Recommended with high-fat seafood and fish, such as tuna, salmon, octopus, lobster, shrimp, mussels, and clams, that have been prepared with butter and yellow lemon. Brie cheese tapas and Kalamata olive tapenade.
El Jimador Reposado Tequila
100% mature blue agave is used in the hand-crafting of El Jimador Reposado, which is then matured in American oak barrels for two months. It has a gorgeous golden hue, flawlessly harmonious flavors, and an unusually smooth and mellow character. The drink has a warm, light, amber color. The aroma of cooked agave is buttery, with hints of almond, vanilla, and spices. The beverage has rich, caramelized agave with undertones of vanilla flavor. It has a finish that is somewhat caramelized and moderately Smokey.
Jimadors are the farmers who harvest the agave, so the tequila named after those diligent individuals is the best choice in terms of cost against quality, according to GQ.
This Jalisco-produced tequila is made entirely from agave and rests for 40 days before being packaged and distributed to the part animals. As a result, you get a crisp tequila that goes especially well in cocktails. The fact that it’s one of the most popular brands in Mexico attests to this. Paloma pairs particularly well with the flavor notes of toasted agave, lemon, and honey.
Don Julio 1942
Don Julio 1942 is one of the most well-respected luxury tequilas on the market if you like a side of luxury with your tequila on the rocks.
This legendary Don Julio 1942 Anejo lies in American white-oak casks for 2.5 years before filling its tall, tapering bottle. The agave used in its production has been roller-milled, baked in a brick oven, and distilled using deep mineral well water in a stainless steel pot still with a copper coil. The result of the combination of ancient and new equipment and those casks is a smooth and floral potion with caramel and vanilla flavors and a salt and spice finish.
While the Don Julio tequila brand enjoys great prosperity, it is also praised for its charity work, with The Don Julio Fund giving $1 million to support local communities in Mexico.
This particular variant of the well-known brand was named after the year that its creator Don Julio González first began producing his distilled spirits. 1942 is renowned for its tall, brown limited bottle that, at first appearance, may be mistaken for wine or champagne and its robust vanilla and wood flavor.
1800 Tequila
At first glance, we can all identify a bottle from the 1800s. It is obvious. You may have overlooked the special connection between the 1800 Tequila Silver bottle and its own country’s cultural legacy. Its shape, which resembles a trapezoid, is a reproduction of the ancient Mayan stone pyramids held in Mexico. The 1800 Tequila is racing toward becoming the best tequila trends for 2023.
The label features the slogan “Trabajo, Passion, Honestidad” as well as the 1800 logo. In English, this means “effort, passion, and honesty.” The crest represents the company’s traditional farming and distilling methods. It pays tribute to the jimadors who harvest the agave when it is fully mature, between 8 and 12 years old.
