Pro Tips

🔪 Don Javier's Legend

Created by Don Javier Delgado Corona at La Capilla bar in Tequila, Jalisco. Now in his 90s, Don Javier still stirs Batangas with the same knife he's used for 50+ years.

🇲🇽 Mexican Coke

Made with cane sugar instead of corn syrup, Mexican Coca-Cola has a cleaner, crisper taste that pairs better with tequila.
