Nixta Licor de Elote

Craftsmanship and Distillation

The creation of Nixta begins with carefully selected Mexican maize, which undergoes the nixtamalization process to unlock its natural sweetness and earthy complexity. The mash is then fermented and distilled with precision, ensuring the retention of the grain’s unique character. The final step is a meticulous blending with a touch of sweetness, producing a velvety, golden-hued spirit that is as rich in history as it is in taste.

Aroma & Bouquet

On the nose, Nixta presents a warm, inviting aroma reminiscent of freshly baked cornbread, toasted grains, and hints of vanilla. Undertones of honey, caramelized sugar, and light floral notes add depth, while a faint whiff of buttery popcorn rounds out the bouquet, making it both nostalgic and indulgent.

Smooth & Finish

Nixta offers an exceptionally smooth mouthfeel, coating the palate with silky, sweet corn flavors balanced by gentle spice. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of caramel and roasted kernels. Its balanced sweetness makes it versatile, enjoyable neat, over ice, or as a creative twist in cocktails such as an Old Fashioned or a Mexican-inspired dessert drink.
