What is a Mexican Ponche?

Warm up with the festive flavors of Mexican Ponche, a traditional holiday punch infused with the smooth richness of LALO Tequila. This vibrant blend begins with a base of water simmered with whole guavas, red apples, and pears, adding layers of fruity sweetness. The zest of orange, paired with the deep molasses flavor of piloncillo, enhances the punch’s warm, comforting character.
