…..Some Americans use Cinco de Mayo (Fifth of May) as an excuse to shoot lesser quality tequila with salt and limes to mask poor flavor. What people don’t realize is that one of Mexico’s great sources of cultural pride comes from their fine sipping tequilas, which can be enjoyed neatly like a fine scotch. This Cinco de Mayo, follow the true Mexican tradition of good taste with Tequila Avión, a smooth new tequila that won gold and double gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition this year. This tequila is produced with only the finest blue Weber agave found in the highest regions of Jalisco, Mexico. Higher elevation creates more stress on the plant which in turn leads to more depth and character in the tequila. To mark this occasion, raise your glass with the best tequila Mexico has to offer and celebrate by sipping on an Tequila Avión Blood Orange Margarita.
Ingredients
* 1½ oz. Tequila Avión
* ¾ oz. Cointreau Orange Liqueur
* 1 oz. Blood Orange Juice
* ½ oz. Fresh Sour Mix

Certainly. I agree with told all above.
Love this stuff. I tried it in Los Angeles… When will it come to NE Florida?
Not sure on when if not already. It was just made available in the last 6 months here in Central Florida so I can’t imagine it will be much longer there. Try looking for it at Total Wine.
