Serving & pairing

Sip blanco chilled or in a Margarita; reposado and añejo are best neat in a tulip glass. Pairs with ceviche, tacos al pastor and dark chocolate with chilli.

Blanco, reposado or añejo — which tequila should I buy?

Blanco (silver) is unaged and shows the freshest agave flavour — best for Margaritas and Palomas. Reposado (2–12 months in oak) adds light vanilla and works neat or in cocktails. Añejo (1–3 years) and extra añejo (3+ years) are rounder and oakier, best sipped neat.

Anniversary

Cognac for a quiet anniversary.

“Thirty years. No party, one glass each by the fire. The XO from Spirit Hives was warm, long and unhurried. That was the evening.”
Samuel O.XO Cognac
Weekend sipping

Mezcal that tastes like a place.

“Smoke, not a campfire, with the village and the agave named on the page. I read it, then I drank it. Spirit Hives had both parts right.”
Fatima Z.Artisanal mezcal
Summer garden

A gin I cannot buy on the high street.

“A citrus gin that barely shows up in the States. Spirit Hives listed the botanicals, I ordered a 700 ml, and it became the house G and T. Not cheap. Completely worth it.”
Hannah W.Contemporary gin
Case order

The case made more sense.

“I drink the reposado enough that a single bottle was a habit. Switching the option to a case at Spirit Hives dropped the unit price and I stopped running out mid-month.”
Carlos M.Reposado tequila, 6-pack
