Aurora Lime
A vibrant clash of lime and tequila, as dazzling as the aurora borealis.
Behind the Scenes
A vibrant encounter between Mexican silver tequila and fresh lime, finished with a touch of chili powder and a salted rim for a complex taste experience. The top notes burst with zesty lime, the midnotes reveal tequila's distinctive plant-like aroma, and the finish carries a subtle spicy kick from the chili—dynamic and ever-changing, like an aurora.
💡 Inspiration
After seeing photos of the aurora, I wanted to capture that awe-inspiring natural wonder through scent. The wildness of agave contrasts perfectly with the freshness of lime.
