SwitchExplanation
Convert US cups of tequila to grams using a density reference of 0.953 g/mL. With the US cup fixed at 236.588 mL, that gives 225.47 grams per cup for this ingredient.
That is especially useful for cocktail specs, batching sheets, and inventory work where tequila starts from weight but service still uses poured measures. Tequila is treated here as 40% ABV, so stronger or lower-proof bottles can shift the practical density slightly.

Tequila density evidence
Tequila is a distilled spirit produced in Mexico from the blue agave plant (Agave tequilana Weber). It is known for its distinctive agave-driven character and is a foundational base spirit in both classic and modern cocktails, ranging from bright, citrus-forward drinks to spirit-led serves.
Practical use: Tequila is primarily used as a base spirit in cocktails that highlight citrus and freshness. It is essential in classics such as the Margarita and Paloma and appears in long drinks like the Tequila Sunrise. Beyond mixed drinks, tequila is also consumed neat or in small pours, particularly higher-quality expressions, where its agave character and regional identity are more apparent.
Composition and sensory context: Tequila presents a bold and expressive profile centered on cooked agave, with earthy, vegetal notes balanced by natural sweetness. Common secondary characteristics include citrus zest, black pepper, and light herbal tones. Unaged or lightly aged styles emphasize freshness and clarity, while subtle mineral impressions may appear depending on production methods and terroir.
Tequila uses 0.953 g/mL in this dataset, which is 4.7% lighter by volume than the 1 g/mL water reference. Evidence status: medium-confidence. Source basis: Approx density for ~40% ABV ethanol-water at room temp (used across base spirits).
Among the 15 reviewed records labeled Spirits, the nearest density to Tequila is Añejo Rum at 0.953 g/mL: an absolute difference of 0 g/mL (0.0% relative to Tequila). The observed range in this labeled group is Añejo Rum at 0.953 g/mL to Whiskey at 0.953 g/mL. This is a numerical comparison, not a claim that the liquids are interchangeable.
Brand formulation, alcohol or sugar concentration, carbonation, and serving temperature can change the weight of a measured volume. Use this value as a documented reference rather than a producer specification.
