Tradicional® Plata is 100% blue agave silver tequila and inspired by a 200+ year old recipe. Fragrant with aromas of lime, fresh herbs and spice. The palate is rounded and intense with refined flavours of white pepper, lime, mango and herb. A smooth finish, perfect served as a frozen shot or in cocktails.

Jose Cuervo Tradicional®️ Añejo is aged in charred American oak for at least a year and then finished in single malt Irish whiskey barrels for a rich, complex flavor and remarkably smooth finish. 40% Alc./Vol. (80 Proof). Tequila, delivered.

TEQUILA IS NOT STRONGER THAN OTHER SPIRITS. Jose Cuervo produces at 38% to 40% alcohol by volume (ABV), just like most spirits. Tequila, however, has a unique flavor and is frequently consumed straight as a shot. This intense taste experience may be what leads people to mistakenly think that tequila is “stronger.”

The tequila can be shaken or stirred with ice and then strained into a glass without ice. Or, if you prefer Patrón on the rocks (over ice), large cubes or spheres are recommended. They take longer to melt and won't overly dilute the drink.
