Crafted from tender, ancestral cacahuazintle maize grown in the high valleys around the Nevado de Toluca volcano, Nixta Licor de Elote is a true celebration of Mexican heritage. Produced at the Destilería y Bodega Abasolo, Nixta embraces the time-honored tradition of nixtamalization, a 4,000-year-old Mesoamerican technique that reveals the deep, complex flavors of maize. This smooth liqueur features notes of sweet corn, roasted corn, vanilla, and caramel, making it an enticing addition to cocktails or perfect for sipping on its own.
