After a long week at work, one thing you probably look forward to the most is the weekend. Spending the weekend de-stressing or having a laid-back night with your friends to put the stress of heavy workload on pause – regardless of your choice, a bottle of Clase Azul will be your perfect drinking companion! So pair your tequila shots with snacks and appetisers (avoid drinking on an empty stomach) and take a breather.
If you enjoy drinking, tequila shots will help you relax and give you enough energy to clear your head, put challenging projects and clients in the backseat, and unwind. Irrespective of how you choose to drink – alone or in a social gathering – tequila is an excellent choice. One of the best things about the drink is its variety.
Clase Azul is a simple yet effective drink. It does not require any lengthy preparation. While drinking neat tequila is usually not advisable, you can mix it with a couple of ingredients, and you are good to go.
Tequila Reposado
Reposado is an ultra-premium Tequila. Consisting of 100% Weber Blue Agave, it is stored for at least eight months in tiny oak barrels. The long storing or ageing duration gives it a distinct and acquired taste and a pleasing aroma.
Plata
Plata combines seven simple elements forming an exquisite drink when mixed. First, organic agaves are stored for nine years and then slow-cooked in traditional ovens, followed by fermentation and thorough distillation carried out three times to make tequila with purified water.
Ultra Extra Añejo Tequila
Made from pure Tequilana Weber Blue Agave, Ultra Extra Añejo is distilled twice and stored in big, heavy, handpicked Sherry Oak barrels for at least three years. After that, it is sold in a hand-made ceramic container, whose production takes around forty days.
Gold Tequila
Gold tequila is a combination of Plata, a special kind of Reposado tequila aged in French Oak barrels, and an Extra Añejo aged for eight years in American whiskey containers and manufactured in Sherry Oak casks. It is usually consumed with seafood, such as fish, octopus, lobster, shrimp, and clamps, made with butter and yellow lemons. You can also pair it with olive tapenade or white chocolate.
Dia de Muertos
Dia de Muertos is an ode to El Día de Muertos, one of the most cherished Mexican holidays that celebrates loved ones who have passed away and have embarked on a new journey. This drink combines Añejo, stored for over two years in American whiskey casks, and tequila stored in American Oak casks.
How to Make Tequila Shots at Home
Making tequila shots at home is a quick and easy process:
- Have the required ingredients ready, including a lemon.
- Lick the back of your hand – the area above your index finger and thumb – to moisten it and sprinkle some salt on it.
- Lick the salt poured to prevent your throat from getting burnt after you have tequila.
- Down a shot glass of tequila immediately
- Bite into the lemon to remove some of the tequila’s bitterness and add a sour taste to it.
If downing a tequila shot is not your style, you can take small sips of tequila with lime and salt.
