CaliFino History Named one of the best Tequilas in the world by Forbes and awarded "The Best Tequila" in 2020. Sourced from the Highlands of Jalisco, our tequila is handcrafted with only 100% Ultra-Premium Blue Weber Agave. Available in Blanco, Reposado, Añejo, and Extra Añejo. The story begins in 1975 when Don Jose Luna would visit close family friends at the family owned tequila distilleries in Jalisco and would get private batches of tequila moonshine style. Overtime he developed a taste for the finest of tequilas and would share these private batches with friends and family. Around 2003, the next generation carried on the same traditions in San Diego. The demand grew and in 2014 the Luna family and close family friend, Phil Salvagio, wanted to share this special tequila. After several trips, family tastings and ensuring a craft luxury tequila – CaliFino was born. https://www.califino.com/gallery daily 0.75 2020-08-20 https://www.califino.com/extraanejo daily 0.75 2021-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3c4b1026af0d1199e76a08/1599771376824-TBUNRQGVSA0BG9PAM538/Extra-+Awards.jpg Extra Añejo https://www.califino.com/anejo daily 0.75 2021-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3c4b1026af0d1199e76a08/1599771297778-KTMRBBOIOVACF1QM25X7/Anejo+awards.jpg Añejo https://www.califino.com/reposado daily 0.75 2021-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3c4b1026af0d1199e76a08/1599771158113-X34TZEOOT5ZSGRMAO2RR/Repo-+Awards.jpg Reposado https://www.califino.com/blanco daily 0.75 2021-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3c4b1026af0d1199e76a08/1599770675955-9L24LLCRQE5REFDFA7KW/Blanco+awards.jpg Blanco - Blanco Crafted with 100% Ultra-Premium Blue Weber Agave Purely Unaged Crystal clear, vibrant, bright color.

This area is known for its sweet agave due to the distinguished red soil, high elevation, and increased sunlight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3c4b1026af0d1199e76a08/1605311084633-RWBYUA3L3LZLL2S4JZVL/Screen+Shot+2020-08-19+at+12.54.49+PM.png Tequila Our piñas are roasted in red brick ovens for a full 48 hours before the juices are separated from agave fibers. These are later twined together for our very own bottle ropes. In Mexico, other companies re-use these fibers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3c4b1026af0d1199e76a08/1605311432905-OHOHYTCIAW6R3LSSLZ33/Screen+Shot+2020-11-13+at+3.49.00+PM.png Tequila Our fermentation process is around two-hundred hours long compared to the average of 72 hours. This long waiting period is where the sugars and carbohydrates convert into alcohol, creating our full-bodied tequila. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3c4b1026af0d1199e76a08/1605311455246-77DVJ8367RXHYMP5Y01F/Screen+Shot+2020-08-19+at+1.15.50+PM.png Tequila Next, our tequila is distilled to separate components of the liquid mixture created during the fermentation process. In the distillation, the “heads” and “tails” are removed leaving only the heart of the agave. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3c4b1026af0d1199e76a08/1605311460905-IE09R0XQ0TT3U6Q98VJA/Screen+Shot+2020-08-19+at+12.55.01+PM.png Tequila During the aging process, our tequila develops darker colors, hues, and hints of toasted wood, and an overall smoother taste. Once reaching the desired age, our juice will be placed in a stainless steel tank. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3c4b1026af0d1199e76a08/1605311503043-H8QA5QORGKF75UWU115K/Screen+Shot+2020-11-13+at+3.51.18+PM.png Tequila The tequila rests in steel tanks until it is taken to the bottling machine. Custom-molded glass bottles are sent down a conveyer belt to be filled with tequila. The bottles are then hand-labeled and corked. https://www.califino.com/passion-project daily 0.75 2023-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3c4b1026af0d1199e76a08/1607038341379-2BFDLK012YQGIU4T24PC/image-asset.png Passion Project https://www.califino.com/locate daily 0.75 2023-04-13 https://www.califino.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2021-12-22 https://www.califino.com/community daily 0.75 2021-11-18 https://www.califino.com/events daily 0.75 2022-04-20 https://www.califino.com/recipes daily 0.75 2021-11-16 https://www.califino.com/recipes/tequila-toddy monthly 0.5 2021-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3c4b1026af0d1199e76a08/1608757453399-FM8OVENVHRU5G0KDQRGO/web_BUO_9680crop+copy+2.jpg Recipes - Tequila Toddy - Tequila Toddy Ingredients 2 oz Extra Añejo, 2 oz Brandy, 2 oz Apple Cider, 1 Lemon Rind, 1 Luxardo Cherry, 1 Rosemary Sprig Step-By-Step Swirl Brandy around a pre-warmed Irish style glass mug. Assemble a lemon rind and Luxardo cherry in your glass. Next, add a Brandy-soaked rosemary sprig for garnish. Using a lighter, create a flame inside the Brandy-soaked glass. Pour Añejo over flame and extinguish using warm apple cider. Enjoy warm! The Tequila Toddy combines CaliFino Extra Añejo with Brandy and Apple Cider to create a warm and smooth tasting experience further enhanced by the flame present on the bottom of the glass. What more is there to ask? Make sure to use a tall enough glass (we recommend an Irish-style mug) to capture the flavor from the smoking rosemary sprig. Serve immediately after pouring to preserve the natural flavors from the smoke. https://www.califino.com/recipes/jalisco-smoke monthly 0.5 2021-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3c4b1026af0d1199e76a08/1619804025391-S272QBAXPFP50570TYU7/extra-anejo-jalisco-smoke.jpg Recipes - Jalisco Smoke - Jalisco Smoke Ingredients 2 oz Extra Añejo, Ice, Orange Wheel, Barrel Chip Step-By-Step Capture smoke from barrel chip in the glass. Wait for flame to extinguish. Introduce ice and orange zest into the glass, pour CaliFino Extra Añejo slowly over smoking ice. Introducing smoke to cocktails is a great way to bring out the natural flavors of the spirit and has been a classy tradition in mixology for decades. In the Jalisco Smoke, we recommend using a barrel chip to capture a woodier and more charred flavor that pairs perfectly with CaliFino Extra Añejo. Add in an orange slice before the pour to capture the flavor of the smoke at the bottom of the glass, letting it slowly rise and fill the glass. https://www.califino.com/recipes/tequila-mockingbird monthly 0.5 2021-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3c4b1026af0d1199e76a08/1621898109644-PHJMP7Y7CITXQP70B212/tm.jpg Recipes - Tequila Mockingbird - Tequila Mockingbird Ingredients 1.5 oz Serrano Infused CaliFino Blanco Tequila, 1 oz Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur, 1 oz fresh lime juice, .75 oz agave syrup, splash of club soda Step-By-Step Run lime wedge around rim of glass and dip in salt. Use jalapeño salt for a bit of extra spice! Add tequila, Salerno, lime, and agave to shaker. Add ice and shake until chilled. Fine strain into glass with single large cube. Pour club soda over ice and garnish with dehydrated lime wheel. Creating a unique and flavorful variation of the traditional margarita is not easy, but the Tequila Mockingbird is a new and refreshing face at the table. The core aspect of the cocktail is the serrano pepper-infused CaliFino Blanco. To make the infused tequila take 2 quarts of raspberries and blackberries and 2 quarts of serrano peppers and place in a gallon jar. Cover the ingredients with tequila and let this sit for a minimum of 5 days. Depending on how spicy you want the drink, let it sit for up to an additional 5 days. The longer it sits the spicier the tequila will become.

Sip and enjoy! Located in Marietta, Georgia, Siete Tacos & Tequila is home to authentic Mexican cuisine and craft margaritas.
