What tequila should you be tasting this year? The good folks at The Daily Meal named Costa Tequila as one of the top brands to try in 2023.

‘Tequila is a versatile spirit that can be served neat, on the rocks, enjoyed with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lime, or in a frozen cocktail. There are five types of tequilas to choose from based on where the ingredients are grown, how long they've aged, and the distilling process. However, not all brands deserve the same recognition. The best tequilas to try in 2023 – whether you're a spirit connoisseur or want a delicious beverage – have standout flavors, make sustainable farming efforts, and are made with intricate fermenting-distilling methods.” -The Daily Meal

“Amazing tequila comes with a hefty price tag, but that doesn't mean you have to settle for low quality. Costa Tequila, a brand that's based in Jalisco, Mexico, has worked for years to introduce a tequila that was affordable but maintained its superior flavor and smoothness. Stephen Gavula III teamed up with Master Distiller Ingeniero Agustin Sanchez to carefully orchestrate a tequila that would win awards in 2019 for being the first Hi/Lo blend. This unique combination of tequila is made of 100% blue agave grown in two locations and combined for an ultra-smooth finish.

The high portion of the spirit comes from The Highlands in Los Altos, whereas the low comes from Valle de Tequila, aka The Lowlands. The different soils, altitudes, and growing conditions alter the taste of the agave. Hearts harvested in The Highlands tend to have a more floral, fruity flavor whereas the earthy and spicy notes come from the agave grown in The Lowlands. The two different types of agave hearts are then roasted together in ancient brick ovens to alow their flavors to meld together. These two halves come together to create great-tasting tequila that's smooth and more affordable than other brands.” - The Daily Meal

“It’s wonderful to see the Hi/Lo concept being broken out as it’s own category. We have worked hard to educate the world on this concept.” - Stephen Gavula, Costa Tequila Founder
