What to Consider When Choosing the Perfect Tequila Gift

Choosing the right gift doesn’t have to be overwhelming. There are a few key factors to consider that will help guide you on what exactly to gift that’s memorable and fitting.

1. Skill Level

It’s important to assess the recipient’s skill level with tequila. Are they just starting out or are they sipping in Mexico every year? This is one of the most important details when gifting a tequila lover in your life.

Beginners

For someone new to tequila, focus on gifts that help them learn and enjoy the basics. When gifting a bottle, consider a smooth, approachable blanco tequila, like Casamigos Blanco or El Jimador Silver, to keep it beginner-friendly. Accessories like a set of tequila glasses are also complimentary.

Connoisseurs

If they’re more advanced, high-quality glassware like crystal tequila tasting glasses or a set of Riedel tequila-specific glasses will definitely enhance their tequila experience. A premium añejo or extra añejo tequila, such as Don Julio 1942 or Clase Azul Reposado, makes an excellent gift.

2. Personal Style

A gift should feel personal, and aligning it with their individual style is a great way to show you’ve put thought into the selection. Consider what they gravitate toward in their everyday life—this can provide clues about what they’d love.

If they have a vibrant, quirky personality, lean toward colorful or unique items that stand out. Think hand-painted tequila shot glasses, brightly patterned coasters.

For someone with an appreciation for tradition, consider handcrafted items like a hand-blown Mexican tequila decanter.

3. Purpose

Do they prefer sipping tequila neat, or are they more of a cocktail enthusiast? Different preferences call for different accessories.

For Sippers

A true tequila lover who enjoys sipping neat will appreciate items that elevate the tasting experience. Items like crystal sipping glasses are perfect for enhancing aromas and flavors. Pair this with a premium añejo or extra añejo tequila for an experience.

For Cocktail Lovers

If they enjoy experimenting with cocktails, focus on tools that make crafting drinks easier. A high-quality cocktail kit with essentials like a shaker, muddler, and strainer is a great option.

4. Budget

Under $50, great choices include fun tequila-related items like classic salt rimmers, stylish margarita mixers, or tequila-scented candles. For bottle recommendations, try Espolon Reposado.

For the $50-$150 range, explore premium glassware sets or bottles like Don Fulano Tequila Añejo or Wild Common Still Strength Blanco. Or a premium tequila experience like the Tequila-Pro-of-the-Month Club is another amazing option.

For a truly special gift over the $150 range go for rare or aged tequilas like Cazcanes Tequila No.7 Añejo. Pair these with high-end accessories like engraved decanters or a premium 6-month pre-paid subscription to a Monthly Tequila Club.
