Aged in both American and French oak barrels for 18 to 24 months, the 100% ultra-premium blue agave tequila offers a pronounced depth the Milagro Cristalino Añejo is known for. The French oak and Bourbon barrels deliver a delicate balance of fruit flavors and a subtle vanilla sweetness.
“Throughout the entire distilling process, we’ve honored age-old tequila-making practices while embracing innovative techniques unique to the Cristalino sub-category to create a one-of-a-kind liquid profile,” says Michael Giardina, vice president of marketing for Milagro.
Drawing inspiration from Milagro’s Mexico City roots, Cristalino Añejo respects tradition and innovation.

Whether drinking straight with notes of citrus, stone fruit and burnt sugar or serving as a base for creative cocktails, Milagro’s Cristalino offers versatile and elegant offerings to enjoy.
“One of my favorite things about the new Cristalino Añejo is it tastes as delicious alone as it does in a high-quality cocktail,” says Luis Lopez, Milagro’s West Coast ambassador. “This liquid has notes of citrus, stone fruit and burnt sugar, making it a mixologist’s dream when creating classic recipes like an Old Fashioned or modern twist like Milagro’s Crystal Clear Espresso Martini.”
To make the syrup, add simple syrup, one vanilla bean and a handful of coffee beans to a pan on low heat. Gently simmer, stirring occasionally until the mixture is thick, then remove it from the heat source.
Cool in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour before filtering beans from the liquid.
Combine all ingredients into a mixing glass with ice and stir.
Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with coffee beans.
