Occidental Tequila Blanco Mixto | Tequila for Cocktails
Occidental Tequila Blanco Mixto is a versatile, mixing-focused tequila crafted in the mountains and canyons of Juanacatlán, Jalisco, under the direction of maestro tequilero Bruno García.
This expression is a Mixto tequila, composed of 70 % Blue Agave (Agave Tequilana Weber) and 30 % sugar cane, both sourced in Jalisco. The profile is intentionally clean, light, and approachable—designed to perform consistently in classic tequila cocktails.
Agaves are cooked in a 24-hour pressure masonry oven, ensuring efficiency and clarity rather than overt roasted character. Milling is carried out using a four-mass mechanical system, followed by a short 2–3 day fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Distillation is completed twice, using a combination of stainless steel and copper stills, resulting in a neutral, well-structured blanco.
Occidental Tequila Blanco Mixto is specifically developed for mixing, making it an ideal base for Margaritas, Palomas, Batangas, and other high-volume or bar-driven tequila cocktails. It delivers reliability, balance, and value while maintaining clear origin and production transparency.
