Sip, sip, hooray for Hornitos tequilas, which nabbed a bunch of gold and silver medals at the 2026 SIP Awards and 2026 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Nicknamed “The Tequila de Todos,” Hornitos Tequila has a history of breaking tradition dating back to 1950 when founder Don Francisco debuted the spirit in honor of Mexican Independence Day.
The Hornitos family of tequilas keeps Don Francisco’s legacy alive with premium releases like the Cristalino Reserve Tequila and Añejo Reserve Tequila, our two favorites from their top-shelf options. Just chill and sip, or spare no expense for summer coolers like Hornitos’ juicy Staycation and Lemonade cocktails.
