In celebration of National Tequila Day, entertaining expert Paul Zahn joined Inside South Florida to share some exciting and delicious tequila options perfect for indulging in this festive occasion.
Tequila with a Twist: Celosa Tequila
First up, Paul introduced Celosa Tequila, a standout choice with its unique pink hue. Paul explained that Celosa is a 100% organic joven rosa tequila made in Jalisco, Mexico. "It is actually aged in red wine barrels from Napa Valley. That's how it gets that nice pop of pink. It's soft, smooth, and sweet, making it perfect on its own or on the rocks." Paul demonstrated a refreshing Paloma made with Celosa Tequila, grapefruit liqueur, lime juice, club soda, and lemon juice. This premium tequila, priced at around $130 a bottle, is available at Maison Euro Wine and Spirits in Miami and online at celosatequila.com.
A Healthier Non-Alcoholic Option: Olipop
For those looking for a non-alcoholic alternative, Paul recommended a watermelon lime non-alcoholic margarita made with Olipop. Olipop is a better-for-you soda that supports gut health with prebiotics and fiber, Paul shared. It's low in calories and sugar, making it a nutritious and delicious choice. Paul's recipe included watermelon lime Olipop, fresh lime juice, and fresh watermelon juice, creating a delightful mocktail. Olipop is available in various flavors, including ginger lemon, cherry vanilla, and grape. More information can be found at drinkolipop.com.
Spicy Tequila: Fiero Tequila
For those who enjoy a kick, Paul presented Fiero Habanero Tequila. "This in-your-face spicy tequila which will become your secret ingredient for any margarita this summer," he said. They also offer a Serrano version for a different level of spice. Paul showcased a Paloma made with Fiero Habanero Tequila, grapefruit juice, soda water, and a Tajin-rimmed glass for added spice. Both the habanero and Serrano tequilas are priced at $29.99 a bottle and can be purchased at Reserve Bar. For more information, visit fierotequila.com.
