Rum Chata
Master blender Thomas Maas of Agave Loco Brands has combined Horchata, a sweet, cold beverage made from rice, cinnamon, sugar, vanilla and real dairy cream, with five-times distilled premium Caribbean rum to create “Rum Chata.” The result is a creamy, smooth after-dinner drink that also helps counteract the effects of eating hot, spicy food. Rum Chata, available in 750 ml bottles, is best enjoyed chilled, straight from the bottle, on the rocks or in a cup of coffee.

PaQuí Tequila
PaQuí (Pa’key), a new luxury tequila, hit the upscale spirits market in California. The tequila is handcrafted in small batches in Tequila, Mexico, where the master distiller uses selective distillation to separate the heart of the distillation and selects only superior flavors and aromas. PaQuí, whose name means “to be happy” in the native Aztec language, expresses the essence of blue agave and offers an inviting, flowery aroma.
