The popular styles and brands of tequila may shift, as many predict a continued rise in mezcal and other related spirits. Brands from lesser-known craft producers and additive-free tequilas will gain ground in 2025, although supply issues and the threat of tariffs on products from Mexico could create problems for on- and off-premise operators.
