From Agave to Glass: Still Spirits Tequila Essence

Crafting Tequila at Home: The Magic of Still Spirits Tequila Essence

There’s something almost poetic about pouring a glass of golden liquid with deep caramel hues and a crisp aroma that transports you straight to a rustic hacienda. Tequila is more than just a drink. It’s tradition, history, and passion bottled up. And now, you can add a touch of that authenticity to your own homebrewing adventure. With the Still Spirits Tequila Essence, creating your own tequila-style spirit is easier than ever.

Why Make Your Own Tequila-Style Drink?

For homebrewers, crafting a personal batch of spirits isn’t just about the final drink. It’s about control, creativity, and the joy of saying, “I made this.” By adding Still Spirits Tequila Essence to a neutral spirit, you get the bitter-sweet character of the classic Mexican drink without the complexity of full agave fermentation.

Think about it—no need for blue agave harvesting, no complicated distillation process, just 50ml of liquid magic. Perfect for those who love the taste of Pepe Lopez or something similar, but want to build and refine their own take on it.

How It Works

If you’ve never worked with flavour essences before, the process is as simple as mixing up a quality cocktail. Here’s how in just a few steps:

  • Start with a clean, neutral spirit (like a neutral vodka or well-purified home-distilled spirit).
  • Add 50ml of the Still Spirits Tequila Essence to 2.25 litres of your chosen base.
  • Mix it well, let it rest for a short while, and you're done—it’s ready to be enjoyed.

The final result? A drink that carries the notes of classic tequila, waiting for you to pour it over ice, mix it into a margarita, or enjoy it neat.

Perfect for Margaritas and More

If tequila makes you think “margaritas,” you’re not alone. Tequila-based drinks are an instant hit at any social gathering. There’s something undeniably satisfying about shaking up a zesty homemade margarita with your own spirit blend.

Here’s a quick and easy margarita recipe to showcase your homemade tequila-style spirit:

  • 60ml of your Still Spirits Tequila Essence-infused spirit
  • 30ml fresh lime juice
  • 15ml triple sec
  • Ice and a salt-rimmed glass

Shake it all together and strain into a chilled glass. That’s it—pure, home-crafted perfection.

The Homebrewer’s Dream

For those already into homebrewing, adding spirits into the mix opens a whole new world of creativity. Maybe you’re already crafting batches of beer or cider, and now, it’s time to expand into spirits. The satisfaction of giving friends and family a sample of something special, made entirely by you, is unbeatable.
