Espero Blanco 1L

The orange peel and spearmint really come through even in a strong mixer, which surprised me for a liter at this price. The little funk at the end is actually what makes it fun to sip on its own, too.

I was skeptical about a cheap liter tequila, but the subtle minty finish really surprised me. It mixes cleanly into a paloma and has enough character to sip neat. Perfect for stocking the bar without breaking the bank.

The orange peel and spearmint combo makes this taste way more expensive than it is, and a full liter for the price is absurd value. I grabbed one as a backup gift and honestly ended up keeping it for myself — it mixes beautifully but the funk keeps it interesting on the rocks.
