Don Ramon Swarovski Crystal Limited Edition Plata 750 ml

Don Ramon Swarovski Crystal Plata is a 100% blue agave silver tequila dressed in a crystal-studded limited-edition bottle. Plata means unaged: this is the spirit close to how it left the still, double-distilled and rested only briefly, so the agave shows clean and bright rather than softened by oak. The Don Ramon house draws its agave from the highlands of Jalisco, and it reads that way in the glass — cooked agave, citrus peel and a green, peppery herbal lift, closing crisp and firmly on the agave. The Swarovski decanter is built for the back bar or a gift, but the liquid earns its place. Serve it chilled in a caballito, or use it as the clean base of a highland-style margarita.

How to drink Don Ramon Swarovski Crystal Plata

Beyond the margarita, it's worth trying as a straight shot chilled with a grapefruit or orange wedge instead of lime — the sweeter citrus plays better with the herbal, peppery highland character than lime does.
