We all need a rest lately, and luckily…tequila is here to help in this Marigold Margarita. When Andrea Duran, former mixologist at Paloma in Santa Fe, said we needed a rest, we had no idea what she meant. But she explained.
What is “Reposado” Tequila?
Resposado means “rest” or “rested” in Spanish, and refers to the oak-barrel aging process of two to 12 months before bottling tequila. An aging process of one to four years yields a tequila that is considered an Añejo. Golden oaky notes are prominent with a delicious and slightly tart finish. A sip or two later of this Marigold Margarita and we felt rested indeed. If you want to learn more about tequila, check out our liquor education article on the best bottles of Tequila Blanco.
