Sauza Winter Punch: The Holiday Punch That Elevates the Season with Reposado Tequila

Winter tastes different when paired with a warm punch

Christmas in Mexico is lived through aromas, colors, and flavors that awaken memories. Among warm lights, family dinners, and conversations that stretch late into the night, some drinks become part of the ritual. One of them is Sauza Winter Punch—a contemporary take on the traditional holiday punch that blends classic winter spices with the smooth character of Hornitos® Reposado Tequila.

This recipe is not only delicious, but visually perfect for the holiday season. Its aroma of warm apple, cinnamon, clove, and star anise instantly creates a cozy atmosphere. A touch of fresh orange juice balances the warm infusion, while reposado tequila adds notes of vanilla and oak, deepening the cocktail’s profile.

The result is an elegant, comforting, and visually striking drink—the kind of cocktail meant to be shared, enjoyed slowly, and remembered.

Sauza Winter Punch Ingredients

• 2 oz Reposado Tequila
• 1 cup apple juice or natural apple tea
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2 whole cloves
• 1 star anise
• 1–2 lemon peels
• 1 oz fresh orange juice
• Honey, to taste
• Cinnamon stick for garnish

How to Prepare a Holiday Punch with Tequila

Warm the apple juice with the cinnamon, cloves, star anise, and lemon peels for 5–7 minutes, without boiling. This preserves the spices' essential oils. Sweeten with honey and remove from heat.

In a heat-resistant mug, add 2 oz of Hornitos® Reposado tequila and 1 oz of orange juice. Top with the warm infusion and gently stir. Garnish with a cinnamon stick.

In just a few minutes, you’ll have a holiday punch with layered aromas and a perfectly balanced combination of sweetness, spice, and citrus.
