Ahead of National Tequila Day this upcoming weekend (July 24), check out three foolproof recipes from Volcan de Mi Tierra. Not all tequilas are made equal – some are made to be sipped, not served in shot glasses; perfect for flavorful cocktails!
Volcan embodies the best that Mexico has to offer, its distillery is situated in the shadow of the iconic Tequila Volcano and its flavorful portfolio highlights the distinct flavors of cooked agave sourced from the highland and lowland terroirs in Jalisco.
Cheers!
