This time was as memorable as the last two!

Meal consisted of

  1. Ceviche Tostadas; shrimp and fish on a citrus marinade with avocado. Served with a Pink Lemonade Cocktail.

  2. Cranberry Salad; apple slices and crumbly cheese. Served with a Silver Pinapple Martini.

  3. Grilled Beef Tenderloin; spicy roasted potatoes, crunchy green beans and sauteed mushrooms. Paired with a Reposado Diamond Mandarin Margarita.

  4. Pastel de Mango Tres Leches with a mango sauce.

Overall we had 100% Agave Azul Tequila Blanco, Reposado and A~ejo, as well as Gran Centenario ”Blush” and A~ejo – and the star of the night was Maestro Dobel; a blend artfully aged in Hungarian Oak casks.
