Agavero is a blend of tequilas flavored with Damiana flower essence. Damiana is supposed to be an aphrodisiac (see Wikipedia's article on it), which, I presume, is meant to add to the allure of this spirit. It tastes fairly strongly of tequila while at the same time being quite sweet. It can make a fine dessert drink (if you don't mind the taste of tequila), and some blogs indicate that it can make an interesting margarita if you substitute it for the triple sec. I haven't seen a lot of other cocktail recipes that use this liqueur.
With the large number of liqueurs and spirits available, it's often difficult to know what you're getting when you buy a bottle. This blog can help provide information about some of the lesser known alcohols, giving you an idea if a spirit is worth buying and how you might end up using it. I'm a Washingtonian who's collected a number of bottles so as to enjoy better liquors and cocktails. Some of these spirits may be hard to find in Washington State with the privatization of liquor there.
