Which mixto tequila style indicates it has both agave and other sugars?

Mixto tequila is a category that refers to tequilas made with a blend of both agave sugars and other sources of sugar. The correct choice, gold tequila, typically indicates that the spirit has been made using both these types of sugars, hence why it is classified as mixto. Gold tequila is often marketed as a more affordable option and may contain additives or other sugars to enhance sweetness and flavor, differentiating it from 100% agave tequilas which are made exclusively from blue agave.

In contrast, blanco tequilas are typically unaged and can be made from 100% agave, while añejo and extra añejo tequilas are aged longer and also commonly contain only agave sugars, making them fall outside the mixto category.
