While it’s not exactly federal law that it can’t downed in winter, Tequila is more of a summer spirit. So, it’s only natural that a agave spirit maker like Hornitos would send along some recipes to say farewell to summer.
In particular, these cocktails rely on Hornitos Lime Shot, combining Hornitos Plata 100% blue agave Tequila with the taste of lime and a hint of salt. They’re quick and easy to make — with the Lime Shot doing a lot of the work needed to cut and juice the limes.
Say farewell to summer responsibly.
