My ex-sister-outlaw gave me a bottle of Nixta. This is the first thing I tried with it. It’s good, boozy and tasty but the Nixta is lost in here. Will try something else on Friday when I next have a drink. This is:
2 oz bourbon
1 oz Nixta
1 oz Tuaca
1 oz lemon juice
1 oz Topo Chico
I think next time will try equal parts bourbon and Nixta in a fizzy lemonade - I do think the Tuaca is good with it and very sure about bourbon but there is no perceptible corn flavor here.
What is Nixta? Don’t believe I have heard of it before. What type of bourbon did you use?
Elijah Craig small batch, and Nixta is a corn liqueur, it smells like caramel corn and this is the first drink I have tried it in.
Ahh so that is what that bottle was I saw once at lunch. I like EC offerings, good choice.
Besides the bourbon and the lemon juice I’ve never heard of any of these ingredients.
New world stuff, except for the Tuaca, that’s an Italian Amaro that I think of as “winter Aperol”. Nixta is liqueur de elote, corn. It’s sweet, like sweet popcorn flavor. Topo Chico is really good fizzy water also from Mexico. There is a famous Texas drink called ranch water that is a squeeze of lime, shot of tequila, bottle of Topo Chico.
Thanks for the explication
