Tequila Rose is the original strawberry cream liqueur, produced by the Tequila Rose Distilling Company in Carthage, Missouri. Launched over two decades ago, it was the first cream liqueur to pair dairy cream with tequila rather than the Irish whiskey base that had defined the category before it, and it remains the world’s best-selling strawberry cream liqueur. Bottled at 15% ABV in black glass with silver roses that turn pink once properly chilled, it’s built to be served ice-cold as a shot or poured over crushed ice.
CHARACTER
Cream: powdered milk and dairy cream round out the middle
Vanilla: a light undertone beneath the strawberry
TASTING NOTES
NOSE- Sweet, ripe strawberry leads immediately, bright and candy-like, followed by powdered milk and light vanilla.
PALATE- Soft and creamy on entry, with pronounced strawberry sweetness rounded out by milkshake-like dairy cream and a gentle tequila warmth underneath.
FINISH- Medium length, smooth and creamy, with a watermelon candy accent that fades cleanly.
