5 Eterno Cristalino Cocktails for Summer
Summer calls for tequila cocktails that are easy to make, easy to drink, and easy to pour by the pitcher. Tequila Centinela Eterno Cristalino — a filtered cristalino tequila with the bold character of a reposado and the clean finish of a blanco — is built for exactly that. It's smooth enough to sip on its own and versatile enough to carry citrus, spice, or sparkling mixers without losing its agave backbone.
Below are five easy summer tequila cocktails to make with Eterno Cristalino: two original Centinela creations, plus three classics you already know.
