Tequila Cazadores Holiday Cocktails
Travel Distilled takes a look at the holiday cocktails you can make using its go-to tequila from Cazadores.
Tequila Cazadores has become one of my go-to tequila choices, as it combines quality with affordability. Having visited the distillery in Jalisco, I also appreciate the fact that it’s 100% blue agave and their tequila-making process is both fully sustainable and has zero waste production. I included their Extra Anejo on Drinkhacker’s list of the ten best tequilas and mezcals released in 2020.
