Pernod Ricard’s Altos Tequila brand has launched a new, ready-to-serve margarita.
Made with Altos Plata Tequila, triple sec, natural lime flavour and agave syrup, Altos Classic Lime Margarita is available now in the UK in a 750ml glass bottle (RSP £15, ABV 14.9%) at Amazon, Tesco, Asda and Go Puff, ahead of a wider roll out in the spring.
Altos Tequila is made from 100% blue agave grown in the highlands of Jalisco in Mexico. The agave is slow-cooked in brick ovens, distilled in copper pot stills and aged in ex-bourbon barrels. It has a sweet, balanced body with light citrus notes and aromas of bright fresh herbs.
Josh McCarthy, Brand Director for Pernod Ricard UK, said: “The tequila category is booming and this new, accessible format, makes it so simple for people to create the perfect margarita at home.
“Whether elevating an evening in or looking for the perfect dinner party serve, creating a top-quality cocktail is now as simple as pouring over ice, taking away concerns about balance, technique, and leftover ingredients.”
