You deserve the truth.
So here it is:

If your canned cocktail says "Real Tequila," there's a solid chance you're sipping… half tequila, half cheap sugar syrup.

(Mmm. Fermented mystery goo. How chic.)

🥃 The Reality:

There are only two kinds of tequila that matter:

• 100% de Agave = Pure Blue Weber agave. No shortcuts. Certified.

• Mixto = 51% agave + 49% whatever's cheapest (cane syrup, corn syrup, molasses…).

If it doesn't loudly say “100% de Agave” — You're not drinking what you think you're drinking.

📜 Why It’s Sneaky:

Label rules are soft.

Brands can call it “Real Tequila” without telling you about the fillers.

No transparency? No accountability? No thanks.

💵 Why It Happens:

Because real tequila costs more to make.

Especially when you're putting it in a can.

Mixto saves money, shortcuts the rules, and lets brands cash in on your good taste — without actually earning it.

🍊 Why It Says Agave Spirit (Not Tequila)on the Avenue 8 can:

It’s real 100% Blue Weber agave from Jalisco.

But because we choose to can in the U.S. (for quality and control), the law says we can’t call it “tequila.”

We call it Agave Spirit—because we follow the rules.
Even when they don’t make sense.

Same agave. No shortcuts. Just a different name.

🥂 Here’s the Bottom Line:

You’re sophisticated.

You read the fine print.

You celebrate up here — not down in the bargain bin.

You deserve a cocktail that’s as authentic as you are.
And Avenue 8 wouldn’t pour you anything less.
