With the holidays looking a little different this year, Tequila Cazadores is here to celebrate with you at home or wherever you may find yourself. Whether toasting with your inner circle, convening virtually or commemorating individually, the brand invites you to #BringCaztotheTable and weave in Mexican traditions such as Posadas that can further add to your festivities– all while infusing the occasion  with food and cocktails that pack a punch of unique flavor and fun to your celebration. The cornerstone of Posadas, a Mexican and predominantly Latinx holiday tradition, is gathering loved ones. It incites singing, eating, drinking along with overall merriment. Lasting nine nights (December 16 – December 24th), different qualities such as strength, joy, justice and service to the community are mediated upon. After this moment of reflection, games and instruments are played while food is passed around. This season, Tequila Cazadores will be unveiling how to adapt Posada traditions to the modern world and show you how these bold, heartfelt Mexican traditions can liven up your festivities no matter how you choose to celebrate this year.

To bring this unique holiday spirit to life, Tequila Cazadores has partnered with a myriad of lifestyle, trade and food influencers that will be unveiling how to incorporate new and old holiday traditions into this year’s celebrations and mix up delicious cocktails. The refreshing Polo Norte and Spiced Apple Cider Mula bring elements of ginger, blueberry and spiced apple. The warm and enveloping Chai Tequila Caliente and Posada Ponche are sure to delight as well.

Tequila Cazadores, the unexpected spirit of the season, brings with it an intricate flavor palate that ranges from citrus fruits to deep vanilla flavors and, pending the expression, has notes of roasted apples and nutmeg. Made from 100% Blue Weber agave, the spirit is harvested and aged using a 7-step fully sustainable and zero waste production process.

Tequila Cazadores can be purchased online for delivery at several e-commerce retailers. Click here for more details.
