Nixta Licor de Elote
Corn-Based Liqueur | Mexico (Jilotepec de Abasolo) | Made with Ancestral Cacahuazintle Maize | 30% ABV (60 Proof) | 750 mL
Process & Profile
Nixta Licor de Elote is a Mexican liqueur crafted at Destilería y Bodega Abasolo using ancestral Cacahuazintle maize. The production process involves nixtamalization, the traditional alkaline treatment of corn, to bring out deep flavors. Roasted and raw kernels are blended with piloncillo (unrefined cane sugar) and unaged Abasolo corn whiskey, creating a uniquely layered spirit. The corn-shaped bottle design celebrates the cultural heritage of maize in Mexico.
