Between generous dishes, spiced flavors, and long festive meals, the holiday season also calls for refreshing cocktails that brighten the palate. Nieve de Agave delivers exactly that: a light, citrus-forward, and revitalizing cocktail made with Hornitos® Plata Tequila, perfect for starting the evening or enjoying a refreshing pause between courses.
Its simplicity is part of its charm. The balance of fresh lime juice, natural syrup, and sparkling soda creates a clean, bright experience, while the crisp herbal notes of plata tequila shine without overpowering the drink.
