The Flying V Bar & Grill’s Tequila Tasting Dinner with Casa Herradura tequila sold out. Guests learned the basics of tequila, from the clean taste of a Silver tequila to the rich, complex flavors of Anejo and even toasted the end of the night with a special high-end Seleccion Suprema.

Chef Alexis Martinez prepared some of his signature dishes and modified them by infusing them with tequila.

The first course: A grilled Calamari watermelon salad with shaved Spanish chorizo, tomato garlic concasse and a Tequila Sunrise vinaigrette.

Second Course:
Tequila-glazed shrimp and duck confit cannelloni with drunken cherries

Chef’s Taste– and Wow could you taste the Herradura Silver tequila in this one– Summer fruit cocktail, spiced citrus sorbet with tequila splash and a fig crunch

And the final course, a Saint Domingue Dark Chocolate Souffle with Tequila Vanilla Creme Anglaise, was so incredibly decadent that the photographer was too distracted to take a photo.
The room fell silent. Everyone dug into the rich, smooth chocolate souffle and poured the tequila vanilla creme anglaise (which is typically made with Grand Marnier, not tequila) into the dish and reveled in the sweet and spiciness of the creme anglaise. The accompanying cocktail, a White Russian, made with Herradura Anejo, made mouths gape with awe. The flavors of the smooth, spicy drink contrasted the sweet and spicy souffle perfectly. It was the perfect ending to a perfect night.

See you next time?

Most of the time, we pair wines with foods to enhance the flavors and the experience.
