When you think tequila, do you picture shots, margaritas, and crazy nights? You may still get a crazy night, but there are quite a few tequila cocktails that are smooth, delicious, and just a hint of girly. One of those cocktails is the Anejo Kiss, created by Marita Leonard. Using a combination of Partida Anejo Tequila and a combination of creme de cacao and amarula cream, the Anejo Kiss is a great Valentine’s Day cocktail recipe for those looking for unique drinks to serve.

Partida Tequila is an authentic, estate-grown premium Tequila, made from 100% blue agave in Amatitan, the heart of Mexico’s historic Tequila Valley region. The Partida Estate produces four distinctive Tequilas: Blanco (not aged), Reposado (aged six months), Anejo (aged 18 months) and Elegante (aged 36 months).
