Cristalino tequila is a relatively new category of tequila that is characterized by its clear, transparent appearance, despite being aged. It is typically made by filtering aged tequila—usually añejo or extra añejo—through activated charcoal, which removes the color and some of the harsher flavors associated with aging, while retaining the complex flavors and smoothness developed during the aging process. Regular tequila, on the other hand, includes categories like blanco (unaged), reposado (aged a minimum of two months), and añejo (aged a minimum of one year), which maintain their natural colors and flavors from the aging process without undergoing charcoal filtration. Thus, the main difference lies in the filtration process and the clear appearance of Cristalino despite its aging, compared to the typically colored regular tequilas that display their age through their hue.

Store Cristalino tequila in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to preserve its clarity and smooth flavor. Keep the bottle upright to prevent the alcohol from degrading the cap seal.

Cristalino tequila, a clear and aged spirit, offers a versatile drinking experience. Popularly enjoyed neat or on the rocks to appreciate its smooth, refined flavors, it’s also a favorite in sophisticated cocktails like the Cristalino Margarita or a refined Tequila Old Fashioned. Its clarity and complexity make it a top choice for pairing with gourmet meals, enhancing flavors without overpowering them. Additionally, Cristalino tequila serves as a luxurious base for creative mixology, adding a touch of elegance to both classic and innovative cocktail recipes. Whether sipped slowly or mixed into a drink, it provides a premium tequila experience.
