On July 24th, you need no excuse to savor the flavors of Clase Azul all over the city.
While tequila’s history goes back hundreds of years, Clase Azul has spent more than the last 25 perfecting the quintessential Mexican spirit in both taste and style. Inspired by Mexico’s rich legacy and the desire to share the magic of Mexico with the world, today the brand boasts five tequilas in its portfolio of icons—plenty of reason to celebrate.
In honor of National Tequila Day, here are four SF spots where you can enjoy Clase Azul in inventive cocktails or on its own.

Two cultures come together to create the perfect summer cocktail—and a great vibe. The Triple M blends Movida’s signature Persian and Mexican flavors, pairing Persian melon, habañero, aloe vera, and lime oleo with both Clase Azul Tequila Plata and Clase Azul Tequila Reposado for a little bit of fire and nice. // Movida, 555 2nd St. (SoMa), movidalounge.com
