A day dedicated solely to tequila shouldn’t be taken lightly, especially for a brand as engrained in the rich history and unique innovation process such as Hornitos, which has been perfecting tequila nearly 70 years. This National Tequila Day (July 24th), the brand is taking a shot at breaking traditions and encouraging tequila fans to take a modern approach to the holiday with whiskey barrel-aged Hornitos Black Barrel Tequila neat, on the rocks and in unique twists on a Mexican favorite Paloma cocktail rather than traditional margaritas.
