If you’re not a fan of LALO Tequila already, you will be soon. That’s because the popular tequila brand is set to launch a new limited-edition expression that will add a little oomph to your Margaritas, Palomas, and all of your favorite tequila-based cocktails.

LALO Tequila High Proof

It’s called LALO Tequila High Proof, and it’s precisely what the name suggests. While many tequilas sit at a comfortable 80-proof, LALO Tequila High Proof is big, bold 108-proof. It won’t get lost in the background of cocktails and is complex enough to be a high-proof, rainy-day sipper.

The new expression was created because LALO Tequila co-founder Lalo González wanted a way to showcase tequila in its purest, unadulterated form. For those unaware, that means un-aged blanco tequila. It’s made with simple ingredients, including mature agave, well-water, and champagne yeast. It’s distilled two times and is bottled in its uncut form.

According to the brand, it’s known for its nose of roasted agave, fresh frass, and the clay ovens themselves. The palate is a mix of tropical fruits, vanilla, cinnamon, and cracked black pepper.

“This release is particularly special to me and embodies my heritage and soul of the tequila-making that’s been a part of my family for generations,” Eduardo ‘Lalo’ Gonzalez, Co-Founder of LALO, said in a press release. “High Proof is not just a new product; it is a personal and artistic expression inspired by my childhood memories of working alongside my father and grandfather in the agave fields of Mexico. It’s like a journey that takes you to the peak of what tequila should be, and I am proud to share this innovation with tequila lovers across the country.”

Where can I buy it?

If you’re a fan of American whiskey, you’re probably up to date on all the hard-to-find limited-edition annual expressions. There are countless whiskeys from distilleries nationwide to add to your calendar. But very few are as eagerly awaited as Stranahan’s annual winter seasonal expression.
Stranahan’s Snowflake

It’s aptly called Snowflake, and it was released this past weekend at the Colorado distillery. The 2024 version is the 27th batch of this iconic single malt whiskey. While no batch is the same, this popular whiskey is first aged between nine and twelve years in American oak barrels. This is where things get wild. It’s then finished in port, sauternes, Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry, and brandy barrels. The final step is an extra finishing in Tokaji wine barrels from Hungary, ex-bourbon barrels, and American rye casks. First released in 2011, it’s become one of the most sought-after whiskeys in America and one that people camp out each year to purchase.

With December already in full swing, there's always a ton to do at this time of year. From decorating the house to preparing for hosting or cooking duties, the festive season can have a lot going on. So while there are still several weeks until New Year's Eve, it's worth thinking about getting ready for a party if you're planning on hosting.

While Christmas and Hanukkah come with their own flavors and traditions, New Year is a celebration that's a bit freer -- you can celebrate in whatever way feels right for you. And that might be a quiet night at home on the sofa, or it might be a flamboyant party. Either way, though, it's a great time to enjoy some well crafted cocktails.
