Hornitos Lime Shot is a flavor-infused tequila that blends Hornitos Plata with a tangy twist of lime and a dash of salt, bottled at 70 proof (35% ABV).
Hornitos was born bold in 1950, when founder Don Francisco Javier Sauza created it to honor Mexican independence. He roasted the piñas in small ovens, or hornitos, for unmatched flavor, and today the brand stands for its shot-taking spirit.
The base is Hornitos Plata, double distilled and made from pure agave for a smooth, balanced flavor. Lime Shot adds natural lime flavor and a pinch of salt, so the classic tequila shot ritual of salt and lime is already in the bottle. It is fresh-pressed and crystal clear, with a subtle sweetness.
Expect zesty lime and cooked agave on the nose, a bright, tangy palate with a hint of salt and sweetness, and a clean, agave-forward finish.
Hornitos Lime Shot is fiesta-ready. Pour it chilled as a shot, sip it neat or over ice, or use it to refresh your Margarita with a tangy lime twist: shake two parts Hornitos Lime Shot with one part fresh lime juice and a half part agave syrup, strain over ice and garnish with a lime wheel and a half rim of salt. It also makes a quick Ranch Water with sparkling water, or a Paloma with grapefruit soda. Pair it with tacos, nachos, guacamole and grilled street corn. It is a fun bottle for parties, game days and celebrations, where the shots are always ready to go.
