THE SPIRIT BEHIND IT

The Spicy Margarita was inevitable. In the early 2000s, bartenders in San Francisco began infusing tequila with peppers. Citrus and heat pair beautifully with tequila, and when these cocktails reached Texas, they found a natural home. The Lone Star State’s deep connection to Mexican cuisine and bold flavors primed drinkers for heat. By the 2010s, spicy Margaritas were here to stay. Salud to that!

Pablo’s Tip

Add two fat slices of freshly cut jalapenos. Be sure to shake hard to bruise the jalapenos with the ice.

Socorro Blanco — Pure. Vibrant. Uncompromising.

Socorro Tequila Blanco is crafted in the Highlands of Jalisco from 100% Blue Weber agave, slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens and double-distilled to preserve the natural character of the agave. The result is a clean, vibrant tequila with a smooth, balanced profile that’s perfect for sipping or cocktails.
