New Tequila Recipes from CORZO

Turn up the heat with three refreshing new cocktails created by renowned mixologist Jonathan Pogash! Jonathan adds a tasty twist to summer cocktails by combining fresh watermelon and ginger in the CORZO Bliss and muddling fresh pepper flavors and lime in CORZO ‘s Evolutionary Margarita, propelling the classic into the future.

The sweet and spicy flavor in the CORZO Basilica Mexicana provides a historic escape from the heat. The Green Chartreuse (a herbal liqueur) used in the recipe was originally made by French monks in the 1700’s. The jalapeno and basil also blend well to create a sharp finishing bite.

CORZO’s 100 % Blue Agave shines through in each cocktail adding an exceptionally authentic flavor and silky smooth taste.
