- Pour over ice, optionally garnished with a slice of lime or orange to enhance its natural sweetness.
- Utilize it in cocktails like the Paloma for a sophisticated twist on classic drinks.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of Tequila Añejo 100% agave aged 3 years follow these practical guidelines:
- Temperature: Keep the bottle at a steady moderate temperature between 50°F and 60°F (10°C to 15.5°C). The lower end of this range (50-55°F) is often recommended to best preserve flavor and quality. Avoid temperature fluctuations which can negatively affect the spirit's character.
- Light Exposure: Store the tequila in a dark place away from direct sunlight or any artificial light sources which can degrade the delicate compounds and alter flavor over time.
- Sealing:
- For unopened bottles factory seals are sufficient to protect the tequila for years.
- For opened bottles reseal tightly using the original cork or cap immediately after pouring to minimize oxygen exposure and slow oxidation. If the original seal becomes compromised consider transferring to an airtight container.
- Bottle Position: Always store the bottle upright to avoid prolonged contact between the tequila and the cork which may cause cork degradation or contamination.
- Humidity: While tequila storage is less sensitive to humidity than wine keeping it in a place with moderate humidity (around 50-70%) can help preserve the cork integrity over long periods especially for opened bottles sealed with natural corks.
- Additional Tips:
- Avoid storing the bottle near heat sources such as stoves heaters or windows with intense sunlight.
- Once the bottle is opened and partially consumed consumption within 6 to 12 months is recommended to enjoy optimal flavor as oxidation slowly diminishes quality.
- If you have a large partially empty bottle transferring tequila to a smaller bottle can reduce oxygen contact and further preserve quality for a few extra months.
Adhering to these storage practices will help maintain the quality and shelf life of your Tequila Añejo whether the bottle is unopened or opened.
