Nixta Corn Liqueur

Nixta Licor de Elote is an exceptional, handcrafted corn liqueur from Jilotepec, Mexico, produced at Destilería y Bodega Abasolo. This spirit is made exclusively from Cacahuazintle corn, an ancient, non-GMO heirloom variety cultivated in the high altitudes of Mexico. The unique production process involves nixtamalization—an ancient cooking technique used to make masa—which unlocks the deep, rich flavors of the corn. The resulting liqueur offers an authentic profile that balances the creamy sweetness of roasted corn and vanilla with earthy, toasted notes. Bottled at 30% ABV, Nixta is an ideal expression of Mexico's native corn heritage, perfect for elevating cocktails or enjoying neat as an artisanal digestif.
