Ghost Blanco Tequila
Ghost Blanco Tequila is a 750mL blanco tequila bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV), made from 100% blue agave in Jalisco, Mexico, and finished with a pinch of ghost pepper (Bhut Jolokia) essence. The result is a clean, smooth blanco with a flash of real chilli heat that hits quickly and disappears within seconds — spice that holds your attention without a burn, and without any of the harshness that makes drinkers brace for a blanco. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Blanco With a Haunting Little Kick
Ghost was built for a simple idea: a Margarita-grade blanco with the warmth of chilli built in, rather than muddled, infused at the bar, or faked with flavoured syrups. A measured pinch of ghost pepper essence is blended into the finished 100% agave blanco, so the heat arrives as one clean wave — agave first, spice second, gone almost as soon as it lands. That balance is the whole trick: this is a cocktail tequila first, and the pepper is the seasoning, not the meal. Explore the brand on the Ghost Tequila vendor page, or browse our tequila collection.
Tasting Notes
Per the brand: cooked agave up front on the nose and palate, clean and smooth, with the ghost pepper building at the back — a quick, bright heat that fades to a silky, lightly spicy finish, with honey and citrus notes in support.
How to Enjoy
Built for cocktails: it levels up a Margarita, Paloma, Tequila Sunrise or Bloody Maria, and makes a naturally spicy Mexican Mule — no muddled chillies required. More cocktail tequilas are in our spirits collection.
