Tequila Dinner / Austin TX Cantina Laredo

04 Jun

Another lovely evening in the company of friends, and surrounded by amazing food and good drinks; thank you again Brittashton for the invitation. Also thank you Ivan C, Toncia C, and Victor M for joining and being there!

Our first course was a spicy shrimp wrapped in bacon with a light salad. It was paired with a mango-cilantro ‘rita!

Second course was a refreshing mango salad, with cheese, pine nuts and grapes, quite delish, it was paired with a pineapple paloma cocktail.

My entrée was a super spicy snapper, quite hot and tasty, served with calabazita and potatoes, and a light jicama salad. The food was paired with a raspberry chipotle cocktail.

Lastly,  a fresh berry and Chantilly margarita, paired with an astonishing blackberry cocktail.

Overall, we tasted Tres Generaciones, Blanco,  Reposado and Añejo.

I certainly look forward to the next one! Salud!!

Cazadores @ Cantina Laredo, Austin

11 Mar

So – I obviously cannot discriminate another of the finest drinks in the whole world…TEQUILA!

This was certainly a most interesting evening. Thank you Brittashton for the opportunity

Tables set, black linen napkins, white tablecloth, and snifters. Table set with crunchy chips and two types of salsa. Bliss. Overall we tasted 6 Tequilas; Blanco, Reposado and A~ejo of the house of Cazadores and of Corzo. Both made with 100%  Agave Azul in Jalisco, Mexico. We also experienced a couple of mixed drinks, including the favorite of the night, Cazadores Blanco Cucumber Agave Cocktail, and also Corzo Silver Modern Margarita (quite citrus infused) we also had a Corzo Reposado Roseberry Rita (wondeful combination of raspberry and rosemary) a Cazadores Reposadoo Cooler with Mango puree, and lastly a Cazadores A~ejo Cafe Mocha Cocktail served warm.

The four course menu I had consisted of:

  1. Salmon Tapas; Crunchy mini tostada topped with salmon, marinated and grilled tomato, peppers and jicama.

  2. Asparragus Soup; very creamy and with hints of roasted red bell pepper.

  3. Duet of stuffed Quail with Ancho Chile Sauce; Server atop a bed of sauteed green bean nest.

  4. Cranberry Apple Crepes a la Mode with nuts and caramel.

 

Also, thanks to Tania, Tequila Ambassador, for her wonderful presentation.

Salud!
