The Tequila Cocktails to Try on Your Vacation in Mexico

Tequila, the most commonly known spirit made from the blue agave plant, can only be produced in Mexico.  While, most of it comes from the highlands of central western Jalisco, other Mexican states with a coastal border, such as Tamaulipas, Nayarit, and Michoacán, can also produce it.

So why not explore the beloved spirit Mexico has to offer by mixing tequila cocktails with a much-deserved vacation at a lush seaside Mexican resort.

A chic, surf resort located on Mexico’s coveted Riviera Nayarit, W Punta de Mita is the perfect place to warm-up for a tropical beachside vacation. The property is situated on one of Mexico’s best surf breaks edged with lush rainforest that unfolds in winding, tree-lined paths and luxe features that include a posh WET Deck pool area with private cabanas, an incredible spa, and restaurants, including Jean Georges’ critically acclaimed Spice Market.

We recommend stopping by the thatch-roofed Chevicheria, a converted vintage Chevy truck turned-bar that serves fresh beachside ceviche and the delish Piwiwi cocktail – named after the local, beach-loving bird.
