Cheery Christmas!

Christmas and New Year’s are just around the corner! It’s time to toast to this quickly fleeting 2019.

This year’s holiday cocktail trends are all about classic cocktails with an added, crafted twist. Fresh, high quality ingredients bring that extra touch of heat to warm our bodies and souls during the winter. 

The festive colors and flavors of cinnamon and red bitters that you will find in some of these cocktails will kindle nostalgia, warmth, and magic. Other drink creations combine Altos Tequila with vermouth, giving life to exciting combinations as we prepare to celebrate with some irresistible bubbles.

Try our holiday cocktail suggestions with your family and friends.

And let us raise our glasses to you, to us, to our Tahona Society community, and to all of our 2019 achievements. May 2020 be the best year yet.
