MILAGRO TEQUILA Fall Sips

With the end of Summer and first day of Fall comes a fresh pool of seasonal ingredients and cocktail recipes for all to try this season! Milagro Tequila expert, Jaime Salas has an incredible lineup of Fall sips to keep you warm as the weather gets cool.

“Milagro’s range of tequilas makes it, truly, a year-round spirit. Its agave forward taste profile is woven throughout the range. Milagro’s different expressions lend an added layer of flavor, stemming from the tequilas contact with oak. The flavor works to highlight those bright and fresh flavors along with the added warm, toasted spice in the older expressions that work well with winter flavors.” – Jaime Salas

Cheers!
