For those who can never decide what to drink, Penthouse has created the ultimate libation, dubbed Whiskey-Tequila. By combining two of the most popular spirits, the new product is the ultimate combo for indecisive cocktail lovers.

Penthouse's new Whiskey-Tequila is a hybrid alcohol made from a mixture of "the [finest tequila from Mexico](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoked-tequila) with [old-fashioned American whiskey](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nearest-green-tennessee-whiskey)." Though it may sound unusual, the silky texture of the whiskey combined with the bold finish of tequila, deliver a palate-pleasing taste that is smooth and slightly sweet. With its bold flavor and smooth finish, the spirit can be enjoyed on its own as a shot, served over ice with a wedge of lime, or mixed into a number of [popular cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/readytopour-cocktail) for a unique drinking experience.
