8 Tequila cocktails deliver an almond flavour profile in this data, led by El Oso (The Bear) and La Ultima Palabra.
Almond and tequila work well together because the spirit acts as a carrier — it does not fight the flavor, it extends it. The drinks here either feature almond as the dominant note or use it as a counterpoint to the spirit's own character.
