FeedBasilica Mexicana
The CORZO Basilica Mexicana by renowned New York City mixologist Jonathan Pogash. The sweet and spicy flavors in the CORZO Basilica Mexicana provide a historic escape from the heat.
The Green Chartreuse in the recipe was made by the Carthusian Monks in the 1700’s. The herbal liqueur is named after a monastery located in the mountains of France. It is the original "made by monks" liquor that started the European liquor fad in the 1800s.
The Mexican element comes from the use of the country’s most prized spirit – tequila. The agave nectar, jalapeno and Mexican flag inspired garnish also add a patriotic touch. This recipe calls for CORZO, the only 100% blue agave tequila that is double aged and triple distilled for exceptional smoothness.
