Delhi’s evolving drinking culture has welcomed tequila with open arms. Unlike heavier spirits like whisky and rum, tequila is seen as a lighter, cleaner option that pairs beautifully with fresh, citrusy mixers and tropical flavours. Additionally, tequila is often promoted as a comparatively healthier spirit, being lower in calories and carbs than other liquors. Its versatility in cocktails — from margaritas and palomas to tequila sours — has made it a staple at house parties and brunches. The rising demand for craft and premium spirits has also encouraged liquor stores and bars in Delhi to expand their tequila selections in 2025.
