Sips & Sites & Bites

From ofrendas glowing with candlelight to marigolds bright enough to make the spirits smile, Día de los Muertos (November 1–2) is a time when Mexico celebrates life, love, and memory — not with sadness, but with joy. It’s a holiday that’s all heart, color, and flavor … which makes it the perfect match for Tequila Corralejo.

For more than 250 years, Corralejo has been crafted with the soul of Mexico at Hacienda Corralejo in Guanajuato — the birthplace of Don Miguel Hidalgo, father of Mexican independence. That’s right, this tequila doesn’t just tell a story; it is part of the story.

So, as you honor your loved ones this Día de los Muertos … whether you’re building an ofrenda or just gathering good friends around the table … raise a glass to the memories that make life worth living. Corralejo’s latest creation, the Passionate Souls Paloma, is a fiery, fruit-forward twist on a classic that’ll bring some real spirit to your celebration.
