“As the weather gets cooler, I gravitate towards more traditional ingredients for the Holiday season, and was specifically inspired by delicious pumpkin pie. When the soft oak notes of Milagro Reposado Tequila combine with orgeat (almond syrup) and pumpkin, we start getting the delicious aromas of cooking spices that you would find in a pumpkin pie. The lemon juice adds a nice balance to the sweetness for a delicious sip. Cheers to a lovely holiday season.” – Milagro West Coast Ambassador, Luis Lopez

When the room is full of love and everyone is sharing a good laugh…that is the perfect holiday experience, therefore “amor mio” which means “my love.
