Always use a proper tequila glass—a tulip or a copita. The shape concentrates the aromas, whether it’s the Blanco’s pepper or the Reposado’s vanilla. Drink it at room temperature, not icy cold, to appreciate the full flavor spectrum.
And when you serve it, add a single large ice cube if you must. Crushed ice dilutes too fast. The goal is to watch the tequila open up over twenty minutes, not to gulp it down in five.
