Spring cocktails with KAH Tequila plus Hartlepool cocktail lovers could WIN a bottle!
We Brits are embracing super-premium tequilas to be savoured and sipped slowly, not drunk as shots. If you are in Mexico, tequila is always considered to be a sipping spirit. People are realising that and just as with gin 15 years ago, the image of tequila is changing because the quality of tequila is now so high.
So, what makes this tequila super-premium? KAH (40% ABV) is made with 100% blue agave, just as tequilas should be. It’s made in Tequila, the town in Mexico which lends its name to this entire category of spirits.
KAH Blanco is an authentic, handcrafted, double-distilled tequila made in Mexico which is also where the agave plants are cultivated.
Agave is to tequila what grapes are to wine: the key to the creation of the liquid. When you first open the KAH bottle, appreciate the aroma and then try it neat: you will be able to taste the distinctive, soft notes of the agave. The heart of the plant, the pina, is baked to release the delicious juices.
Exclusive ceramic bottle at Tesco
This supremely well-made KAH Tequila comes in a beautiful, decorated ceramic bottle with an elegant cork that will have great impact whether this is a gift or just for you and a loved one.
This bottle is exclusive to Tesco stores and Tesco.com and you’ll find it in stock in the Hartlepool Tesco Extra at £35 for 70cl.
Right now, 100% agave tequilas are becoming popular for at-home cocktails. KAH Tequila is so smooth that you can drink it neat, in a classic Margarita or a Paloma, or in contemporary cocktails such as this Prosecco Margarita.
