Light spirits brand [Quarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/low-abv-gin) added a light tequila to its product portfolio and its agave-based spirit stands out for being bottled at 12% ABV. Dubbed "the world's first light tequila," Quarter T/quila is said to deliver all the flavor of a full-strength tequila without the consequences.

An agave spirit came highly requested by Quarter's distributors and as a spirit that's here to stay, especially during the [peak season for making margaritas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agave-boom-margaritas), Quarter T/quila strikes just the right balance between flavor and function.

The [low-ABV movement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/berry-bros-rudd-barrelaged-aperitivo) has gained significant traction as a growing number of adults seek full-flavor, low-alcohol experiences.
