July 24th is National Tequila Day. How about a “pot luck” tequila tasting? The idea is to compare different tequilas, and decide which brands you prefer. It can be as simple as tequila and tortilla chips get-together, or a tequila-and-dinner potluck. If you want to spend an hour tasting and discussing the tequilas, and then opening up the event to Bloody Marias, Margaritas and Palomas, go for it! > The History Of Tequila The easiest way to hold a tasting is to have everyone look at their tequila stocks and decide what they’d like to contribute. In addition to some tequila of your own, you supply: You can use any citrus juice: grapefruit, lemon, lime, orange, and one of our favorites, yuzu*. You can combine different juices, e.g. lemon and lime, or grapefruit and orange. This recipe also uses the shaking technique: Shake the dressing in a jar to emulsify it. If you prefer whisking or other technique, go for it. Vinaigrette can be made up to one week ahead. Just refrigerate and shake or whisk before using. 1. COMBINE the ingredients in a small jar with a pinch of salt and pepper. Shake to blend. 2. TASTE and add more salt and pepper as desired. ________________ *In the U.S., yuzu juice is typically available only bottled. |
