Today I have some cocktail recipes from Partida Tequila to help your holiday guests warm up on those cold nights. These exotic cocktail recipes will go well with your winter party plans (from Thanksgiving, to Christmas and New Years), but they’d also hold up for a Mexican night fiesta for college play off games.
This cocktail trio would also be great for the big football game night. Pair these delicious drinks with freshly-made guacamole and chips, bite-size cheese quesidillas, grilled corn topped with melted nacho cheese, lime juice and cilantro to give guests something to nibble and sip as they watch the big game.
