It is generally aged in stainless steel containers for around a few weeks and is directly bottled after the distillation process. To be honest, this one requires the least amount of effort from the side of the distiller. Silver tequila is a popular ingredient for many recipes as well, just like our Blue Frozen Margarita Cocktail. The agave’s bright essence is a beautiful addition to the Blue Frozen Margarita, and also other cocktails, like the Tequila Sunrise.
