2 Elevated Tequila Cocktails To Try

There’s a new tequila in town! At BCL stores now, Volcan X.A Tequila was designated as “Best Overall Tequila” at the 2023 New York World Wine & Spirits Competition by Tasting Alliance just last month! It’s a captivating expression of Mexican heritage and craftsmanship, expertly crafted by blending Reposado, Añejo and Extra Añejo tequilas, introducing a unique “Art of Ageing and Blending.” It delights the senses with aromas of vanilla, caramel and dried fruit, complemented by the delightful flavours of cooked agave, baking spice and toasted nuts. Volcan X.A’s “Extra Ages” represent the pinnacle of Tequila refinement, and it’s made exclusively from 100 per cent Blue Agave, without any additives, allowing the agave’s natural sweetness and oak treatment to shine. Enjoy it neat or on ice using flutes or tumbler glasses, or try it in one of the delicious cocktail recipes below. —Vita Daily
