Product details
Nixta Licor de Elote is an ancestral corn liqueur from Jilotepec, Mexico - the birthplace of corn. More than just a crop, corn is a foundational element and valued heirloom in the cultural identity of Mexico, and Nixta was created to be the world’s purest form of ancestral corn distillation. Intended for bartenders, spirits nerds, and people who love corn shaped objects, Nixta's packaging is inspired by culinary glass forms and crate labels found in early 20th century Mexican neighborhood markets.
This proudly Mexican liqueur celebrates its cultural identity, appeals to quirky, culinary sensibilities, and stands out on a bar cart!
- Makes for the most flavorful corn margarita on the rocks!

- Made some heavenly maiz margaritas that were delicious.

Nixta makes for the most flavorful corn margarita on the rocks! 2 parts tequila, 1 part each Nixta, lime juice, agave syrup. Shake. It’s now my go-to margarita recipe!
Don’t drink it straight unless you like sweet liquors. I always mix with rye or scotch in old fashioned. It can be made into a lot of different style drinks.
Amazzzzingggggg. Made a tea out of marigold and mints and amended this delicious liquor. Standout
I wanted to like it. The bottle is wonderful. The nose is very compelling. But — straight or on the rocks — the taste is way too sweet and oddly off putting. Brought it to a party to see if my friends would like it ... and just got a lot of "ick" faces. I've seen a couple cocktails that use it, and may try those. Right now the bottle is about four shots shy of full and I'm afraid it'll either get tossed or remain at that level for the next 10 years.
This really does taste like nothing else out there - sweet with a strong corn flavor. I've tried it in a margarita and in some whiskey drinks. It's a bit tricky to mix with, but when you get it right, it really shines. Definitely try out any cocktails on your own before sharing with friends though, because there is a whole lot that corn does not pair well with.
Interesting. It really tastes just like sweet corn. A unique bottle to be sure, I’m just still trying to figure out what to do with it.
What a secret elixir to any mescal or tequila drink!!! Thanks
I purchased this bottle when it was first available the site and finally had a chance to use it this month. It made some heavenly maiz margaritas that were delicious. I used it in lieu of orange liqueur. I highly recommend this for a unique flavor profile.
This stuff lives up to the hype! The nose is all masa - it smells incredible and truly feel you you are holding a fresh tortilla or have ground up some fresh corn and are holding the grains in your glass - pretty spooky honestly! Taste is great as well, I'm still playing around with what to make in terms of cocktails given it's fairly subtle but obviously plays well with tequila. I'm planning to get some of the distillery's corn whiskey once Bitters Bottles can ship out of state (curse you liquor laws!) but until then I think Nixta and Mellow Corn are going to be a match made in Heaven.
This is very delicious. Lots of different corn flavors show up across the palate.
