Izaguire at Taperia La Mina — Premium Basque Cider Liqueur

Our Izaguire at Taperia La Mina is a premium Basque cider liqueur that captures the essence of the Basque Country’s legendary cider tradition in a sweet, smooth, and utterly delicious spirit. Izaguire (Kizkia in Basque) is made by distilling Basque cider and blending it with sugar and natural flavors to create a liqueur that is rich, sweet, and unmistakably Basque. At our restaurant in Benidorm, Izaguire is our recommendation for guests who want to experience the unique flavors of the Basque Country after their meal.

The Basque Cider Culture

The Basque Country has one of Europe’s greatest cider traditions. Basque sagardotegis (cider houses) are legendary institutions where cider flows straight from enormous barrels in a ritual called “txotx.” Izaguire distills the essence of this tradition into a bottle — it captures the fresh, fruity character of Basque cider in a smooth, sweet liqueur that is perfect as a digestif or dessert drink. It is one of the Basque Country’s most popular and unique spirits.

How to Enjoy Izaguire

Izaguire is best enjoyed ice-cold, either neat in a small glass or poured over ice. Its sweet, apple-forward flavor makes it a wonderful digestif after a hearty Basque-inspired meal or any dinner of Spanish cuisine. It also pairs beautifully with cheese and fruit desserts.
