Tequila vs. Vodka – Unicorn Tequila

Vodka and gin are both clear, distilled liquors. They have similar alcohol content and calories, so neither is “stronger,” necessarily. Both are super-mixable spirits, starring in a variety of cocktails.

Two big differences between tequila and vodka are core ingredients and taste. Vodka is made from starch or sugar and is known for its neutrality, while tequila is made specifically from blue agave sugar or other sugar sources, making tequila’s flavor profile varied and stronger. The longer a tequila is aged, the smoother the taste and body.
