Introduced by Spanish colonizers in the 18th century, coffee quickly became a cherished part of Mexican culture.

Today, Mexico is known for its high-quality coffee beans, and the tradition of crafting unique coffee beverages has only strengthened over the years.

Add a splash of tequila, and you have this warm treat of a cocktail that can be enjoyed on those cold winter nights, or by the beach on a sunny day. It’s that versatile.
