A trio of cocktails to transport you out of the frost and into a warm tropical fantasy

Colder days can inspire anyone to have the feeling of longing for a warm getaway. Between leaving work when it’s well after dark, fighting off frostbite, and spending far too much time indoors, taking an opportunity to find a little escape can be an excellent form of self-care. So we encourage you not to let the winter blues keep you from experiencing the finest of what life has to offer!

These unforgettable tropics-inspired recipes are the perfect way to enjoy the moment and create for a cozy evening in.  To really spice things up, consider hosting a Virtual Tasting with Aldez and make memories with your tribe this winter.

The best tequila leads to the best cocktails 

At the core of every recipe is the main ingredient – and as anyone with discerning tastes knows:  Not all tequilas are created equal.

Bold, smooth, & as unique as the individuals who drink it, Aldez Tequila is a cut above the rest. Whether it’s the smooth taste of Blanco, the time-honored sophistication you get from a glass of Añejo, or the joy of a traditional margarita featuring the Reposado, Aldez is crafted the way tequila was always meant to be: certified organic, responsibly sourced, and expertly distilled.

In these recipes, we’re showcasing Aldez Reposado, since its bold flavor shines in colder months and has the power to sweep our imaginations away from even the most bitter cold winter has to offer, to the warm sun-baked coasts of the Mexican Baja.
