Bring Hornitos Tequila to your Thanksgiving Day celebrations! + recipes [classic article]

Thanksgiving: good times, family . . . hopefully, you’ll have both. Get yourself to a quality liquor store and pick up some Hornitos Tequila! I was happy to be hosted to experience it. With several different expressions of the liquor, it’s quite versatile, even for all the stages of a Thanksgiving get-together — a meal with all kinds of gastronomically competing flavors.

Here are some recipes from Hornitos!
