Discover the Essence of Primor
The Primor cocktail is a brilliant showcase of Mexican craftsmanship, combining tradition and innovation in every sip. At its heart lies sotol, a lesser-known spirit derived from the Dasylirion plant, and an innovative gin that features sotol as a unique finishing touch.
The result is a cocktail that is earthy, botanical, and refreshingly vibrant—ideal for both seasoned spirit lovers and those new to the world of artisanal Mexican drinks.
The Magic of Sotol Blanco
Acrónimo’s Sotol Blanco brings out these nuanced qualities with elegance and clarity, making it a perfect base for modern cocktails like the Primor. Its smooth character allows other ingredients—such as hibiscus and Ancho Reyes—to shine without being overpowered.
A Fusion of Botanicals in Gin
Acrónimo takes things further by introducing a groundbreaking gin finished with 17% Sotol Blanco. This unique blend fuses traditional gin botanicals—juniper, cardamom, citrus peel, and anise—with the rustic soul of sotol.
The result is a gin that bridges two worlds: one of sharp, clean botanicals and another of deep, earthy complexity. This innovative spirit adds an extra layer to cocktails and elevates even the simplest mixed drinks.
Perfect Pairings and Occasions
The Primor is a versatile cocktail that shines at social gatherings, summer evenings, or as a signature drink at upscale events. Its balance of tart, spicy, and floral flavors pairs well with seafood like ceviche, grilled vegetables, or light tapas.
It’s a cocktail that invites conversation—about its unique ingredients, its cultural roots, and its bold reinterpretation of tradition.
