Respeto is made with sustainability in mind, employing fully matured agave prepared using traditional methods that mirror the first stages of heritage tequila or mezcal production. This is no ordinary agave syrup: Muscular and earthy, with a viscosity akin to molasses, it unapologetically expresses the full character of roasted agave and can function as well as the hero flavor in a cocktail as it can a complementary component. Use it in cooking or confectionary applications—as you would a rich balsamic—or in modest measurements to add depth and mouthfeel to mixed drinks.
