1. CASAMIGOS Tequila Blanco

The Lowdown: Crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave, Casamigos Blanco is known for its smooth finish and bright, fruit-forward notes of citrus, sweet agave, and a signature hint of vanilla and grapefruit. Crystal clear in appearance, it’s unaged to preserve its natural vibrancy. The agave piñas are slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens, followed by extra-slow fermentation, a process that delivers the clean, refined character Casamigos is celebrated for.

2. Mirror Margarita x Cointreau

The Lowdown: Mirror Margarita and the original Margarita icon, Cointreau, combining years of expertise with fresh flavours from Mirror’s Founder Deano Moncrieffe for the ultimate sip for summer! After a decades-long quest to understand and master the wonders of citrus, Cointreau revealed the fruit of its efforts: The Citrus Series, an exclusive collection of citrus distillates specifically dreamed up for bartenders looking to elevate their craft. The result of a mastered double-distillation process, this product resembles white spirits like gin or vodka, rather than liqueurs. For the debut edition, Cointreau’s Master Distiller Carole Quiton chose the Corsican Pomelo.
