I asked McCauley Williams, the founder of Alma Del Jaguar Tequila, to share some tips.
This tequila, while founded by a Memphian, is a hand-crafted, sustainably produced tequila developed in partnership with Sergio Vivanco of the highly regarded NOM 1414 estate in Mexico.
This additive free tequila donates a portion of its proceeds to the protection of wild jaguars in Mexico and along the borderlands between the U.S. and Mexico border.
So let’s talk about margaritas!
Tip #1: McCauley says, first and foremost, to select an additive free tequila for your cocktails. An additive free tequila, like Alma del Jaguar, ensures a clean and crisp tequila experience without the negatives the day after.
Tip #2: Skip store bought mixers. Limit your cocktails to just a few fresh ingredients to fully enjoy the natural agave flavors of a good quality tequila.
Tip #3: Don’t forget salt for your glass rims! McCauley adds the Mexican chile-and-lime seasoning Tajin as well.
Tip #4: Drinking your tequila neat? Think orange over lime! Orange enhances the flavors found in a good quality tequila. Limes mask lower quality tequilas.
Tip #5: If entertaining, think ahead and make batch drinks that are easily made in advance!
This is Jennifer Chandler with The Weekly Dish. Cheers!
