Yes, you read that correctly. Spiced Honey Tequila. You haven’t had any like this before. Still keeping it clean, crisp and 100% agave, Hornitos is taking on Spring with fresh flavors. This is quite innovative for a Tequila, wouldn’t you say? Hornitos Spiced Honey has light floral notes, hints of vanilla and a nice “spiced” finish on the palate. With all of these subtleties, the agave is still present. This is a well crafted and unique take on Tequila. We see honey whiskey and spiced rum often but, Tequila? No!

Mothers are so important to us,right? Don’t you want to cook her a nice meal? Maybe get her a nice gift. Why not hook Mom up with some  Hornitos Spiced Honey signature cocktails this weekend to celebrate her and to celebrate Spring? Here’s a few recipes to help get you started.
