While it may feel like summer is flying by, the season hasn’t officially started yet. To commemorate this year’s Summer Solstice and the longest day of the year on Thursday, June 21, treat yourself to one of these delicious cocktails by Tequila CAZADORES!

Made with tequila and elderflower liqueur, the Tribal Elder Margarita and 1862 Margarita contain bright and floral flavors reminiscent of the season. For those looking for a light and refreshing drink with a lower ABV, the Grapefruit Tequila and Raspberry Tequila spritzes are mixed with prosecco and rosé respectively, perfect for sipping all summer long.
