About Tequila
Rivera’s has assembled the most extensive collection of Tequila in Omaha, we have over 60 tequilas, many of which come from small, artisan distillers. These Tequilas represent what we think are the finest available. Not all Tequilas are the same. We highly recommend Tequilas made from 100% agave. These Tequilas are the finest Jalisco has to offer. Producing quality Tequila is a labor of love. Blue agave plants are harvested after being in the fields for eight to twelve years. The long spear-like leaves are then cut off leaving the large, fleshy cores, which have the look of enormous pineapples. “Piñas” can range in size and weight anywhere from 80 lbs up to 300 lbs. The Piña cores are then slow roasted or steamed. Slow pressing releases a juice known as aguamiel (honey water). The aguamiel is then fermented and double distilled. Aging Tequila provides different flavors. Blanco Tequila, which is unaged, shows the agave in its natural state, with flavors of smoke, herb, chamomile and white pepper. A Reposado Tequila (actual translation, meaning rested), aged anywhere from two months to a year in oak, gives a mix of vanilla and agave flavors. Añejo Tequilas are aged in wood for a minimum of one year or as long as ten years. The result of aging is a smooth spirit with strong vanilla and spice flavors. Any of our specialty Tequilas can be used for a Margarita, although we recommend either Blanco or Reposado for margaritas. Some choices within our Tequila collection are to be savored as “sipping Tequila.” Introduce yourself to some new agave nectars by sampling one of our many selections.
Our servers will be happy to help you select the perfect Tequila.
