Of course, tequila, like any alcohol, can be drunk from different glasses, glasses, mugs and cups. However, people who really love and appreciate this drink prefer to use a special set, and they choose lime as a snack.
What should be tequila glasses
Tequila glasses are called caballito, which means "pony" in Spanish. This name appeared due to the small size, massiveness and "squat" of such containers. Tequila glasses are compact. They are complemented by a stable, durable, thick and heavy bottom. Since in tequila, unlike many other alcoholic beverages, it is not so much the smell that is important as the taste, caballito glasses do not expand towards the base - their diameter remains unchanged over the entire height of the container. At the same time, despite their relatively small size, they differ in a rather large capacity, because tequila is supposed to be sipped slowly, and not drunk in one gulp.
Tequila glasses alone are usually not enough, because often people prefer to drink it with special "rituals", using salt and citrus slices. That is why it is appropriate to buy a set, complemented by a salt shaker and a special saucer. This option is ideal for people who prefer to coat the edges of their shot glasses with lime juice, then place the container upside down on a dish of salt before pouring the tequila. However, if the person for whom you are preparing a gift does not like such methods of drinking alcoholic beverages, only glasses will be enough.
Design options for a set for tequila
The traditional tequila set is simple and concise and, as a rule, includes items made of transparent glass without drawings, carvings or other additional decorations. This is a good option for a person who appreciates the classics and does not tolerate pretentiousness.
If you want to make a more original gift, choose a tequila set with additional decorations. Glasses can be made of glass with a matte surface or with drawings and inscriptions. Particular attention should be paid to the sets, which, upon your request, can be decorated with individually selected prints. This will allow you to choose patterns or inscriptions that will reflect the worldview, tastes, preferences, and hobbies of a particular person. Such a set is an excellent demonstration of careful attention to the choice of a gift.
Another interesting option is to purchase a tequila set with special coasters. The easiest option is an unusual tray, on which it will be convenient to store glasses and serve drinks later. More complex stands can be made in the form of a retro car with special recesses for glasses, in the form of a chest with a carved lid, etc.
