Leave it all Behind – Los Cabos Tequila Tasting

Imagine this: Sipping a cocktail while strolling down the snow white sands of The Hilton Los Cabos Mexico.
The reality: A Tequila tasting for Los Cabos in the heart of New York.

The Liquid Chef was asked to choose what represented the spirit of Mexico for a tasting of Tequila. The Liquid Chef meticulously chose 10 brands that represents different terroirs, regions, cooking methods, distillation techniques, and the flavor profile of each one of them.

This unique spirit has always been a source of Mexican pride, as a product that defines and celebrates the unique culture of Mexico.

Making premium tequila is an art and also nature’s gift as it takes 8-13 years for one plant to fully mature. There are only five states in the world that can legally produce Tequila: Jalisco (highlands & lowlands), Guanajuato, Tamaulipas, Michoacan, Nayarit.

Tequila is either made from 100% agave or it is a mixto—a blend of agave with other additives like sugar-based syrups, or artificial flavors. You should look for tequila made with 100% agave for its premium quality, taste and tradition, without any artificial additives. The only distinction between 100% and mixto is that one will say Tequila 100% de Agave and the mixto will just say Tequila.
