A tasty tequila has joined the Campari Group and (surprise!) it’s not an aged anejo. Mayenda Tequila is a rarity: a young blanco made to be equally good for sipping or mixing. How? Mayenda captures flavors of cooked agave by adding two extra steps before distillation: maceration and the addition of agave miel.

Savor the flavor by sipping Mayenda neat, especially when accompanied by the complimentary flavors of roasted pineapple dipped in salt. Or enjoy as you would with less nuanced blanco, silver or joven tequilas — in an elevated Margarita or Paloma, or in one of the brand’s signature cocktails like the Hibiscus Old Fashioned.
