In honor of Crave Taco Week, taking place March 11-17, we’ve singled out not one but two great taco-worthy cocktail recipes to share with our venerable readers this month: a simple but delicious margarita and something a little more offbeat.
At the center of both drinks is Suerte Tequila, a premium, 100% blue agave spirit featuring zero additives. Produced in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, this tequila boasts a smooth and rich flavor profile with hints of citrus, vanilla and earthy undertones.
Suerte Tequila and Coppola Diamond Collection Prosecco will both be available at select Crave Taco Week locations. For more info on Crave Taco Week, visit the Taco Week guide in this magazine, visit www.cravetacoweek.com or download the Crave Taco Week app.
