Ingredients for Casa Dragones Blanco
Method
Directions for Making Casa Dragones Blanco
- 1
Harvesting and Cooking Agave
Harvest the blue agave plants, ensuring they are ripe. Remove the leaves to extract the piñas. Cook the piñas in an oven or autoclave at around 90°C (194°F) for 24 hours until they soften.
- 2
Mashing the Agave
Once cooked, mash the piñas to extract the juices. This can be done traditionally with a tahona (stone wheel) or with a mechanical mill.
- 3
Fermentation
Transfer the agave juice to fermentation tanks and add the yeast. Allow it to ferment for about 5-7 days at controlled temperatures until the sugars are converted into alcohol.
- 4
Distillation
Distill the fermented liquid in pot stills. The distillation process is typically done twice to ensure purity and quality of the tequila.
- 5
Filtration
After distillation, filter the tequila through charcoal to remove impurities and enhance the clarity of the spirit.

Bottling
Finally, bottle the Casa Dragones Blanco tequila, ensuring that it is sealed properly for freshness.
