Honorable Mention: Azulana Tequila Sparklers
This may not be a recipe, but it doesn't mean it's not worth trying.
Why should you try it? It is the first and only sparkling tequila drink that is made with 100% blue agave tequila and sweetened with agave nectar (can you say yum?).
It comes in three flavors — Lime, Original and Pineapple Rosemary — so there is one for everyone to try.
