Esquire Names Costa Tequila A Best New-School Tequila Brand

We’re over the moon to report that Costa Tequila has been named a ‘Best New School Tequila Brand’ by Esquire Magazine!

“We're calling attention to the tequila makers who use traditional methods, plus the new-school brands worth trying.” Reports Esquire. “Americans, particularly the famous ones, are in love with tequila. Year after year, the category continues to grow in the States, according to the Distilled Spirits Council. In fact, new data suggests that agave spirits overall will outpace American whiskey in terms of sales for the first time this year, and as hard as it is to believe, vodka over the next few years. Forget about mixto, the subpar blend of agave and sugar juice that inevitably leaves you with a bad hangover. We’re talking 100-percent Blue Weber agave tequila, which can only be distilled in five Mexican states, of which the best known is Jalisco. The traditional method of making tequila involves harvesting agave, cooking the piñas (the heart of the plant) in an oven, shredding and crushing them with the tahona (a large stone wheel), and then fermenting and distilling the juice (or mosto). “
