A few months ago I attended the Jose Cuervo Tequila workshop. I wasn't To enthusiastic about it. As tequila as a drink was limited to just shots and Margaritas. David Dennis, the brand ambassador of Jose Cuervo definitely proved me wrong... Through the workshop he went through the history of the company, the process of how tequila was made ..and of course the better way to have it.
More about the brand on the following link: http://www.cuervo.com/home/
Getting back to the better way to have it- We were given 2 shot glasses of the Silver tequila. Chilled & Room temperature. All these years we've had it at room temperature.. well that proved why I wasn't much of a fan..Chilled Shot was the obvious winner. Refreshing, and also easily exciting to the palate.
I had an opportunity to challenge David to make a cocktail for me by choosing 2 ingredients. I had just made a watermelon salad with salsa a few days ago. so the ingredients I chose were obvious- Watermelon & Chilly. David thought it was the most difficult challenge he faced. Even then he created some magic of the Ingredients. He muddled the watermelon with some cucumber, added Lots of Tequila, gave it a good shake in a cocktail shaker, & poured it on a glass with chilly coated rim, with a garnish of watermelon stick soaked in tequila.. Truly refreshing..Every Sip had a hit of chilly followed by the sweetness of watermelon & the coolness of cucumber. Have made this cocktail many times later..will post pictures soon.
