My Family Tuesday Is More Fun Than Your Family Tuesday


My night started with a stop at Hi-Time liquor store in Costa Mesa with my wife and oldest son. We picked up 11 bottles of Blanco and 10 bottles of Reposado. Don’t judge - there is a purpose behind this!

So we get home and decide to taste all the Blanco tequilas and rank them best to worst in our opinion. Like I said our Tuesday nights are more fun than yours!

Regardless of the outcome (hint, we all liked Elevaso Blanco the best) the point wasn’t about which tequilas won or lost. 

The reason I started Elevaso was because of a love for the complexity of tequila. Unlike any other spirit, there is such a variation in expressions that there is truly something for everyone to enjoy (if they can all get past that Cuervo gold college experience!). I call this concept “TEQurious” - are you TEQurious enough to try new tequilas?

Tonight was Blanco night. So many tequilas with so many flavor profiles. Some, like Elevaso, with real agave forward aromas and flavors. Others clearly with additives creating flavors not naturally found, but expressions of what master distillers believe people will enjoy.

Point is, I have a philosophy about tequila drinking. You don’t know what you actually like until you take the time to taste different tequilas side-by-side. Doing so allows you to truly experience tequila and discover what you truly enjoy.

Whenever possible I like to drink multiple tequilas side by side with family and friends. Putting aside the technical aspect, it’s just a lot of fun. Everyone has an opinion and the more you drink, i.e., the alcohol starts kicking in, the more vocal you get!

So here is my recommendation to you - never drink just one tequila. BE TEQURIOUS! Drink tequila side by side and whenever possible do this with family and friends. For this advice I ask only 1 thing - always include Elevaso in this taste-off. It was my suggestion and I believe Elevaso always wins!

4 Reasons You'll Never Find Elevaso At Your Local Liquor Store

Image
* *SHOP ELEVASO** More than likely you've seen Elevaso Tequila online... Whether that's Facebook, Instagram or Google. Many of you have gone to your local liquor store, maybe even asked someone who worked there if they carried Elevaso, and you were sadly let down :( This isn't because your local liquor store doesn't want to carry us... Below are 4 reasons why you won't be finding Elevaso at your local liquor store any time soon: 1. Big Distribution = HUGE Markup Being in the alcohol industry means we need to full comply with U.S. laws including those from PROHIBITION in the 1920s. This means we are forced by law to use distribution companies which often charge a premium markup... Sometimes up to 30%! The benefit from a brand perspective is most of the time these big distribution companies can get your product on shelves across the country... The downside for the consumer? Most of the time that 30% markup is passed through to you. Losing a 30% margin on a pr...

When The Wife Asks For Tequila You Better Deliver!

**SHOP ELEVASO TEQUILA** So, it's Saturday night and we are getting ready to go out. Then out of nowhere, my wife asks me to pour her some Elevaso Blanco - that's a sign that she's up for a fun evening. This is not a unique occurrence in my house, but in order to fully appreciate it, you need some background. I've mentioned before that my wife and I met in college. While at college she only drank Pineapple Malibu or any blue colored drink - doesn't get more college girl than that! After college she became more calorie conscious and virtually cut out drinking all together (translation - no fun for Ross!). As we got older (and I could afford it) we took our first of many trips to Napa. That's where she discovered wine and the party was back on. But that got old fast for her. She decided she only liked wine when drinking it in Napa. Short of moving to Napa, this became an expensive proposition! Then I started Elevaso, pursuing my passion for tequila. When...

Marketing Tequila Is A Tough Business!

Image
**SHOP ELEVASO TEQUILA** Look, when I got into the tequila business I didn’t think it would be a cakewalk. There are tons of brands out there. A lot of them have been around for a long time and they definitely deserve all of our respect (looking at you Don Julio). Being only 6 months old, we’ve had a lot of success. We have a lot of happy (and very loyal) customers - whether liquor stores, bars, restaurants, or end consumers. The verdict is in on Elevaso and everyone who tries it, loves it! So I’m really proud of our creations. But, it’s like high school out there with the all the clicks! Where are the cheerleaders?!?!  All I’m trying to say is respect the old dogs but don’t be afraid to root for the new guys, even if Michael Jordan hasn’t attached his name to the tequila. Some of us little guys take a lot of care to bring you some really special tequila, i.e. “craft.”  If not for the love of tequila, do it for Vince (our social media guy). After all, he’s t...
