What is a Tumericana?

The Turmericana is a unique cocktail bursting with all sorts of flavors. For one, it’s inspired by the smooth taste of Don Julio Blanco tequila, derived from pure agave and with notes of citrus. Secondly, there’s the sweet taste of ginger honey syrup that balances out the other, bolder ingredients perfectly. Finally, the last main ingredient is turmeric, a distinct and pleasant Indian spice known for its kick and its many health benefits. The Turmericana is an unforgettable drink perfect for a hot summer day by the pool or for when you’re enjoying your favorite cuisine.

Why Don Julio?

While you can make the Turmericana with any tequila, we recommend Don Julio Blanco tequila. Dating back to 1942 when Don Julio González founded his own tequila distillery in Atotonilco El Alto, Jalisco, Mexico, Don Julio is now synonymous with quality Mexican spirits. Don Julio tequila is made from the best agave plants and has become a household name for its high quality and smooth taste.
