Tequila Sunrise

Elsewhere in this edition we’ve covered the continuing growth in the popularity of gin. But gin has a rival for the title of the world’s most popular spirt in the shape of Tequila.

The Trend

In fact, according to Euromonitor, Tequila sales have grown every year for the last 6 years and are predicted to hit 302 million litres in 2018. But interestingly it has been the growth of more expensive premium tequilas that have been driving this growth. Little surprise then that Tequila is fast becoming the drinks industry’s rising star. One of the reasons for Tequila’s growing popularity is its versatile nature. Increasingly, people have come to appreciate high-quality, ultra-premium Tequila as a luxury spirit that does well on its own, served over a little ice or as the basis for a wide range of classic cocktails.

To History & Health

With its long tradition and history there are plenty of cocktails to choose from and many of these lend themselves to the use of more premium Tequila with all the associated profit opportunities this brings for operators. To add to all this good news, Tequila has also been receiving plenty of positive press for its unexpected health benefits, which will appeal to today’s health conscious consumers. No longer confined to Mexican-themed restaurants, we predict nothing but blue skies for Tequila. But how best to serve Tequila and make the most of the opportunities for increased profits that it offers? Hopefully some of the products we’ve featured here will inspire you to take full advantage.
