Put most simply, flavored tequila is tequila—generally a blanco or silver tequila that hasn’t been aged at all—that’s been infused with some other flavor. And the possibilities are pretty much endless, despite flavored tequila only becoming a thing fairly recently (the Tequila Regulatory Council of Mexico required flavored tequila to be called “tequila product” until 2014).

Some are fruity. Some are peppery and spicy. It’s a brave new world out there in the realm of flavored tequilas.

They’re really good if you...like flavored tequila. It’s more of a U.S. thing rather than a Mexico thing (tequila lovers from tequila’s birthplace tend to be purists when it comes to tequila, and even salt and limes are a no-no among staunch sippers).

That being said, flavored tequilas can be a lot of fun if you’re not a hardcore traditionalist. Probably a safe bet to assume that if you enjoy flavored vodkas, you’ll dig flavored tequilas as well.

Since flavored tequilas are already bringing some extra oomph, they can be really nice paired simply with soda water and a twist of lime. But feel free to have some fun with it and mix up a margarita with flavored tequila. Or get creative and swap out rum for some flavored tequila in your favorite tiki drink. A bloody margarita would also be an excellent opportunity to give your favorite flavored tequila a whirl.
