It can sometimes feel like every second celebrity is starting a tequila brand at the moment, and it can be hard to find a brand that cuts through the noise, is made the way it should be, and reasonably priced. Enter Tico, the new brand that needs to be on every cocktail-lovers radar.
100% agave and completely additive-free, Tico is made in one of the most famous and highly-regarded distilleries in the world - NOM1123 - just outside the town of Tequila. It’s here to remind you what tequila is meant to taste like when it is produced correctly - which is exemplified by their tagline ‘The way it should be’.
Tico is one of the few tequila brands that are certified B Corp and committed to innovations in reducing waste - doing everything they can to push the industry forward, whilst also producing tequila that is luxurious, pure and authentic.
It comes in three variations: Blanco – un-aged and balancing flavours of cooked agave, pepper and herbal notes. Rosa, aged for 5 weeks in french oak, ex-Cabernet Sauvignon red wine casks, boasting a rose gold hue and notes of cherries and red fruits. And Reposado, aged for 11 months in ex-bourbon American oak barrels, with notes of honey, butter and cinnamon.
Whether you want to spice up the festive season with a fancy paloma or can’t get enough spicy margaritas, Tico makes a delicious drink - even if you choose to just add soda and lime for a skinny spritz. And, if you’re still on the hunt for the perfect stocking fillers, they now make stunning bottled cocktails available at 180 Corner Shop on The Strand - Tommy’s Margarita made with Tico Reposado and Rosa Negroni made with Tico Rosa.
