Best Gift for Tequila Lovers: a Taster’s Club Membership

The Taster’s Club tequila membership is a great gift for anyone who loves tequila. Of course, many people have their favorites, but you can broaden anyone’s horizons and open new doors with this club. Each month, they’ll get a selection of some of the best and toughest to find tequila brands delivered directly to them. And, if you opt for the Tequila PRO club, this includes some very rare bottles. The best part is they do nothing – no planning, shopping, or selecting since you’ve done all of this in advance.

HOW TASTER’S CLUB WORKS

Once a month, a new 750-ml bottle of tequila is delivered to your tequila fan’s doorstep. They’ll learn all about each tequila through expert-level history, distillery notes, and tasting. And if they’d like a break, not to worry as they can cancel at any point without hidden fees.

Each month, your tequila-loving pal will discover:

• Each bottle’s flavor profiles and tasting notes.
• How to properly taste and assess tequila.
• The different styles of tequila.
• How tequila is made.
• Mexican distilleries.
• Tequila regions and what defines them.
• Tequila production techniques.
• Commentary and evaluations on different bottles from experts.

Tequila Dishes

Whether your tequila fan likes the drink neat, in a cocktail, or in their favorite Mexican recipe, these dishes are some of the best gifts for tequila lovers.

TEQUILA GLASSES

Many believe that good tequila should be sipped slowly in a high-quality tequila glass. Riedel’s Ouverture Tequila Glasses are specifically designed for this. They cause the alcohol to open up and slightly evaporate. This is how scents come through and you can fully experience the spirit and all of its properties, including color, body, and brilliance. The narrow flute glass promotes aroma concentration as you enjoy and savor each layer of the drink.

TEQUILA SHOT GLASSES

For a colorful, cheerful addition to a party, your mezcal or tequila-loving pal will enjoy using these ceramic Mexican Talavera shot glasses. Each hand-painted glass in the set of four holds 2 fluid ounces and was created by Mexican artisans.
