4th of July is time to celebrate the shot-taking efforts of our founding fathers, and what better way to do so than with a tequila brand that knows a thing or two about taking shots and breaking traditions…Hornitos Tequila has two cocktails that are perfect for the holiday ~ whether you want to mix up a festive red cocktail with Hornitos’ Watermelon Paloma or batch a tequila beer cocktail so you can spend more time enjoying the BBQ and less time making drinks.
