3. How to Taste Tequila 

Knowing how to taste tequila properly makes all the difference.

• Use small clear glasses or tequila tasting glasses
  
  
• Sip slowly – no salt or lime for your first taste
  
  
• Smell it first, then take a small sip
  
  
• Let it rest on your tongue to detect flavor layers

Encourage your guests to describe the aroma, mouthfeel, and finish – it makes the evening interactive and fun!

4. Set the Mood

Create a festive vibe with a Tequila Day playlist. Start with “Tequila” by The Champs and mix in Latin hits, chill lounge tracks, or even a mariachi vibe.

Lighting tip: Try dim lights and candles for a cozy tasting setup.

5. Tequila Station Setup

Set up a central table with:

• Tequila bottles (labeled)
  
  
• Tasting glasses
  
  
• Water + lime wedges
  
  
• A menu card with tasting notes
