The food of Mexico is famous for its bold spices, rich colors and strong flavors. But, there is another dimension to Mexican food only open to those who know tequila. The flavors and aromas of a great tequila can enhance the taste of any dish. But the combination of Tequila Don Julio and the best dishes of Mexico is an experience unlike any other.
In today’s Mexico, even the traditional dishes are in motion. A new generation of chefs is creating fresh and exciting dishes that build upon time-honored recipes. They are bringing to life a new, stylish cuisine that is global and yet uniquely Mexican. Tequila Don Julio is a vital part of the story of Mexican cuisine. For every dish, old or new, there is a Don Julio tequila that perfectly complements it.
For fish and seafood dishes, look to Don Julio Blanco. Its clean, crisp profile melds well with the smoothness of the fish, while the finish of black pepper complements sweet sauces and garnishes. Serve the Blanco over ice with a squeeze of fresh lime, or as the base of a Don Julio margarita.
Earthy dishes like Puerco Adobo require Don Julio Reposado. Its smooth, light flavors and essence of dried fruit enhance the savory texture of the pork and balance the complexity of the sauce. Enjoy the Reposado over ice with a touch of fresh juice or tonic, or as the base of a Don Julio margarita.
Spicy cuisine such as Mole-based dishes demand Don Julio Añejo. Its smoothness, touch of butterscotch and light spiciness prolongs the heat of the dish and amplify the sweetness. Savor the Añejo neat or over ice.
For rich and savory dishes like the famed Chiles en Nogada, Don Julio 1942 is the perfect companion. Its smooth character and aroma of caramel and vanilla balance the salt and bring out the sweet notes of the dish. 1942 should be enjoyed neat in a specialty tequila glass.
When considering a match for desserts or sweets, look to Don Julio Real. With hints of caramel, chocolate and coffee, Real is almost enough of a dessert all by itself. Real should be experienced neat in a specialty tequila glass.
