What does alcohol-free mean?
According to German, Austrian, and Swiss food law, beverages with a maximum of 0.5% alcohol by volume can be labeled as non-alcoholic.
POLLY contains <0.5% alcohol by volume and is therefore considered non-alcoholic, similar to fruit juices or very ripe bananas.

Is Mexican Classic an alcohol-free substitute for tequila?
From this perspective, it would be wrong to promote Mexican Classic as a substitute. In terms of taste, however, Mexican Classic is inspired by classic tequila. The smoky note and agave distillate give it its unmistakable character. POLLY Mexican Classic is therefore ideal for use in drinks that are alcohol-free but based on classic alcoholic drinks. So if you're a fan of Tequila Sunrise or Margarita, why not try them alcohol-free and use our POLLY Mexican Classic instead of tequila?
Is tequila actually healthy?
There are many myths and theories about whether and why tequila is healthy. Some attribute it to its natural ingredients, others to its purity, which means that tequila has no added sugar or carbohydrates. We don't know much about alcohol. But what we do know is that our POLLY Mexican Classic is made from natural agave distillate and contains no carbohydrates or sugar. What's more, it's also alcohol-free. And we can say with certainty that alcohol-free is always the healthier option.
This is POLLY

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'inspired by tequila' actually mean?
Inspired by tequila means that the product cannot be labelled as an alternative or alcohol-free tequila, but that its flavour is nevertheless based on the original. The non-alcoholic product attempts to replicate the flavour of the original, e.g. using plant-based distillates. This creates a flavour profile reminiscent of tequila without actually containing any tequila.
Can you drink Mexican Classic neat?
We recommend enjoying our drinks exclusively mixed. When combined correctly, their full flavour profile unfolds, ensuring an optimal experience. It is only through mixing that the diverse aromas come into their own.
Is Mexican Classic really alcohol-free as a substitute for tequila?
The term "alcohol-free" is often equated with "without alcohol", but there is a subtle yet important difference. According to German food law, they are not synonyms. Here is the clear distinction:
Alcohol-free: A beverage may contain up to 0.5 per cent alcohol by volume.
0.0% or "non-alcoholic": A beverage must guarantee that it contains no alcohol, i.e. 0.0% by volume. It is therefore important for you to know that POLLY products are always alcohol-free by law and therefore contain less than 0.5% alcohol.
Please note: our products are not drunk neat, but mixed with a suitable mixer such as tonic water or lemonade. This further reduces the alcohol content of our drinks in the finished mixed drink.
Does Mexican Classic taste like real tequila?
The alcohol-free POLLY Mexican Classic was specifically developed to capture the authentic taste experience of tequila. By using high-quality alcohol-free distillates, we have succeeded in precisely replicating the typical smoky agave aroma. As the product is non-alcoholic, it lacks the characteristic "burning" note of alcohol. This makes it milder, but no less complex. Thanks to the carefully balanced components, the result is a depth that is astonishingly close to the original. If you are looking for the earthy, smoky character of agave but want to avoid alcohol, Mexican Classic offers a complexity of flavour that is very close to the original.
How is Mexican Classic produced?
Our production process involves creating genuine alcohol-based flavours and distillates from botanicals, fruits, etc. These are distilled in multiple stages and then concentrated in a complex process. After dilution, they still have a strong flavour and an alcohol content of <0.3%. In Mexican Classic, agave distillate and agave extract are crucial to its authentic character. The smoky aroma ultimately gives Mexican Classic its distinctive, profound note.
