Taste: The flavors follow the aromas, with meyer lemon rind, Persian cucumbers, and rich minerality. The finish is punchy with white pepper, and a buttery texture that coats the palate to balance the bright flavors. Mix this into any herbal or garden vegetable margarita variations.

Background
Launched in 2020, Lalo Tequila was co-founded by Eduardo “Lalo” Gonzales, the grandson of Don Julio Gonzales, and his business partner David Carballido after they were inspired by a private small batch project in Guadalajara. The focus is on the natural quality of agave and a traditional process; the brand is anchored by a “less is more” philosophy. Lalo produces only unaged tequilas, combining traditional processes like brick oven steam cooking and copper pot distillation, alongside modern advances including a roller mill for extraction and champagne yeast fermentation.
