Noosa’s love affair with margaritas is no secret.
From post surf lunches to long afternoons that roll into evening drinks, there is always a reason to pull up a seat at Spice Girl. The Noosa Junction favourite has become known for its vibrant atmosphere, generous hospitality and deep appreciation for agave spirits.
Beyond the margaritas and Taco Tuesdays lies a collection that tequila enthusiasts know well.
For this edition of The Drop, we asked Spice Girl co-owner Milani to share a handful of her favourite pours. Not necessarily the rarest bottles on the shelf, nor the most expensive, but the tequilas she continues to return to time and time again.
There’s something undeniably magnetic about tequila.
Maybe it’s the rebellious spirit often associated with it, or perhaps it’s the landscapes from which it comes. Many of Mexico’s most celebrated tequilas are born in the rugged highlands and valleys of Jalisco, where generations of producers have spent decades perfecting their craft.
The bottles Milani gravitates towards all seem to share a certain attitude. They’re bold, unapologetic and full of character. Behind every bottle is a story of heritage, hard work and a deep connection to place. The volcanic soils, the sun drenched agave fields and the fiercely independent producers all contribute to the personality found in the glass.
Perhaps that’s what gives tequila its edge. Not rebellion for rebellion’s sake, but a sense of authenticity. A spirit shaped by people who know exactly who they are and where they come from.
Whether you’re a seasoned tequila drinker or simply looking to move beyond your usual order, consider this your introduction to some of the industry’s most celebrated pours.
Over to Milano.
