Process & Profile
Crafted from 100% USDA-certified organic blue Weber agave, Dulce Vida Grapefruit Tequila begins its journey in the rich soils of Jalisco, Mexico. The agave plants, which take nearly eight years to mature, are hand-harvested at peak ripeness using traditional methods. Following harvest, the piñas are slowly roasted in stainless steel autoclaves to extract sweet, fermentable sugars. The tequila is then distilled in small batches, focusing on purity and flavor, before being infused with natural grapefruit essence. This meticulous process results in a smooth, high-quality tequila with 70 proof (35% ABV).
