In a market increasingly focused on craft spirits and conscious consumption, Las Maracas, a 100% Blue Weber Agave Tequila perfected in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, emerges as a game-changer. Touted as the world’s first tequila made specifically for India, this new brand doesn’t just bring premium liquid to the table—it brings culture, design, and a whole new drinking experience. Currently available in Delhi, Las Maracas is more than a spirit—it’s a bold collaboration between Mexican tradition and Indian sensibilities.
A Tribute to Craft and Culture
Named after the traditional Mexican percussion instrument, Las Maracas pays homage to simplicity and craftsmanship. It’s made using only two ingredients: the revered Blue Weber agave plant and pure spring water. The brand employs a precise cutting technique during distillation, resulting in a purer and sweeter tequila that appeals to both newcomers and aficionados.
What also stands out is the design. The bottle is a canvas of vibrant Mexican folk art, featuring miniature Alebrijes—mythical creatures that appear to watch and silently judge, adding character to your bar shelf. The aesthetic gracefully merges Indian and Mexican elements, reflecting the spirit’s bicultural soul.

A Taste of Two Worlds
Las Maracas offers three distinct expressions, each designed to appeal to a range of drinking preferences:
Blanco (₹5,300)
Unaged and crisp, the Blanco is the brand’s entry-level offering. With pepper and clove notes balanced by a smooth agave finish, it’s perfect for cocktail lovers looking for something versatile yet flavorful.
Reposado (₹6,400)
Aged slightly longer for those who want a hint of depth without losing the bright character of agave. While not detailed in the original tasting notes, this variant typically offers a mellow, balanced sip ideal for sipping or mixing.
Añejo (₹9,500)
Aged in American oak barrels, the Añejo delivers richer, rounder flavors—think caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and warm spices. This one’s designed for those moments when you want to sip slowly and savor the complexity.
Where to Find It
Currently, Las Maracas is available at select stores and bars in Delhi. Its striking bottle and refined flavor profile will make it a staple on Indian bar shelves and cocktail menus across the country.
Final Sip
With Las Maracas, India gets its first tequila crafted with its palate in mind. It’s a fusion of tradition, artistry, and taste—bold, beautiful, and built for those who appreciate the finer spirits in life. Whether you’re mixing it into a spicy Picante or sipping it neat, this is one bottle worth toasting to.
