Last Minute Holiday Gift Suggestion-Hornitos Plata Tequila
Retailing in the low twenty dollar range, Hornitos Plata Tequila is a a nice introductory tequila if your looking to introduce the spirit to someone whose only experience has been those harsher brands. Hornitos Plata (unaged) tequila begins with light floral notes that are followed up with characters of cinnamon, touches of black pepper, balanced with minute inklings of sweet vanilla that ends with a smooth finish that introduces notes of lime.
If you prefer a cocktail as opposed to neat, try something a bit traditional like a Margarita.
The usual recipe being something like:
2oz of Plata(or Blanco) Tequila
3/4 Cointreau
3/4 Lime Juice
Note:If you like your Margarita more sweet than tart, add about 1/2 oz of Simple Syrup.
