Tijuana Sweet Heat is a tequila liqueur that takes a gold tequila (NOM 1143) and mixes it with agave nectar at an ABV below traditional tequila (35% vs 40%). The bottle does a little bit of misdirection with the words “Tequila” and “100% Agave Nectar” –
It's way to sweet and it hardly feels like a tequila. I wouldn't drink this again, and I only drank it because the only other option was a mixto. It might make a good margarita, but that's about it.
