It’s almost Halloween and after October 31, it’s Dia de Los Muertos— Day of the Dead! Particularly in California, this holiday is as meaningful as Halloween for a lot of the population. Casamigos Tequila has provided me with 4 great recipes– all that reflect not only Halloween but primarily Dia de Los Muertos. Check out the recipes and pick what you think will make a great cocktail.
