Herradura Silver Tequila

I love to serve Margaritas and this past 4th of July I treated guests to my margaritas made with Herradura Silver Tequila. It was a hit! Friends could taste the difference, but they could not put their finger on it. I informed them that they might be tasting a little extra woody flavor in the tequila due to the fact that it is the only silver tequila aged for 40 days in oak barrels. They all raised their eyebrows, then their glasses… “To Oak Barrels”… “To Tequila”… “To Friends”

Located and produced in the tiny town of Amatitan, just outside of Guadalajara, Tequila Herradura is 100 percent blue agave, all natural, estate grown and estate bottled. Tequila Herradura is made from the finest blue agave, with unrivaled patience and meticulous care. The result is a deeply complex flavor. Founded by Ambrosio Rosales and Aurelio Lopez in 1870. Today, Tequila Herradura is one of the largest holders of barrels in all of Mexico and one of the leading marketers of aged tequilas in the world.

The new Herradura Pear cocktail has been a longtime favorite on the beaches of Mexico and its popularity is spreading to the U.S. The simple, delicious drink combines sweet fruit nectar, tart lime juice and rich tequila for a one-of-a-kind burst of flavor that is sure to relax and refresh anyone on a warm summer day.
