7 Surprising Foods That Pair Well With Tequila
Tequila may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about food pairings, but let's think again. More sommeliers are turning their attention to tequila flights to pair with foods, and high end restaurants are curating tequila pairing dinners to showcase how Mexico's premier spirit, in all its diverse flavor profiles, pairs surprisingly well with a wide variety of foods beyond the obvious tacos and margaritas. Depending on the type - blanco, reposado, añejo or extra añejo - each tequila has its own unique flavor profile (think citrus, spice, oak, vanilla, caramel, herbs) which can pair extremely well with complementary flavors in the food. As a rule of thumb, lighter tequilas pair best with lighter dishes, and more complex flavors in aged tequilas will complement richer foods. Bertha González Nieves, co-founder and CEO of Tequila Casa Dragones, is a passionate proponent of pairing tequila with food. 'While we are rooted in Mexican craftsmanship, all of our [tequila]In fact, González Nieves recently collaborated with her good friend and renowned Mexican chef Daniela Soto-Innes to launch the Casa Dragones Palapa Bar by Rubra, at the W Hotel in Punta de Mita, Nayarit. This new new huerto (farm)-to-bar concept serves tequila flights and cocktails that compliment the cuisine at Rubra, the hyper-local restaurant which Soto-Innes recently opened within the hotel's grounds. Some of González Nieves' favorite pairings from the Palapa Bar menu include: When pairing tequila with food, whether in cocktails or sipped neat, it's important to note that there are many different flavor profiles even within the same category of tequila, depending on where the agaves have grown, how the mash is fermented and how it is distilled, among other factors. For instance, a blanco from the Highlands of Jalisco will be sweeter, fruitier and floral, while one from the lowlands will be earthy, spicy, and herbaceous. So let your tastebuds be the guide as you start your tequila and food pairing adventures. Here is a basic guide to get you going. Foods That Pair Well With Tequila Blanco The fresh, citrusy and herbal qualities of tequila blanco make it a perfect match for all things seafood. Think ceviche, aguachile or crudo; sushi and sashimi; fish tacos; grilled shrimp or octopus; and raw or cooked oysters. The classic Mexican seafood cocktail with ketchup-based sauce quickly comes to mind, but why not try the tequila as a welcome drink for a Cajun-style seafood boil or New England clam bake for a cool change of pace that will wow your guests. Salads are great to pair with a good tequila blanco, and in fact, using the same tequila in the salad dressing would make the match even better. A lime and tequila-based dressing will complement any green or fruit salad, for instance. But even a classic Caesar with its umami rich anchovy dressing will bring the tequila's savory notes to the forefront. It may seem like a no-brainer, but salads with fruit like watermelon, pineapple, mango and grapefruit are fabulous paired with tequila blanco, as exemplified in myriad cocktails. And yes, even tuna and chicken salads will go beautifully. We already know that spicy Mexican food is a traditional complement to tequila, but why stop there when there are many other world cuisines that feature bold flavors. Thai cuisine is a perfect example of thinking out of the box when it comes to pairing tequila. Loaded with fiery chiles, herbs like lemongrass, lime leaves and cilantro, and savory condiments like fish sauce, soy sauce and curry pastes, the flavors of Thai food are a great counterpart to a citrusy or herbaceous tequila blanco. Try it with a green curry with shrimp and coconut milk for a heavenly match. Food Pairings For Tequila Reposado Next time you serve a cheese or charcuterie platter, try pairing it with a good quality reposado tequila. The salty, fatty flavors of cured meats will bring out the sweetness and spice in the tequila, creating a perfect balance in the palate. For a cheese plate, focus on aged and mature options like Cheddar, Gouda, Parmesan, or Manchego, and even smoked cheeses like Provolone will do a nice reposado plenty justice. For grilled meats, reposado is an excellent choice. Whether it's chicken, pork or beef, the smoky flavors from the grill are perfect for pairing with the light wood flavors from tequila reposado. Think pulled pork with a rich barbecue sauce, pork ribs with a slightly sweet and spicy glaze, or steak with chimichurri - they will all benefit from that hint of oak in the tequila. After all, fajitas and tequila are a classic pairing so why stop there? Foods To Serve With Tequila Añejo, Extra Añejo And Cristalino Aged tequila is the way to go when it comes to pairing with chocolate. While the flavor profiles of the tequila will vary depending on each producer, showing notes of oak, vanilla, cinnamon, caramel, cocoa and dried fruits, depending on the barrels used and the time the spirit spends maturing in them. Different chocolates will also have different flavors, so experimenting with your favorite tequilas and chocolate will offer a fun opportunity to learn about both. Read what the experts say about these fascinating pairings if you need further guidance. Since tequila añejo must be aged for at least one year in oak barrels, the result is a rich, caramel-like flavor profile which matches beautifully with creamy, vanilla scented flan and custards. In fact, there are recipes for flan that include tequila añejo in the custard or in the caramel sauce that forms at the bottom of the flan. This is truly a match made in heaven. Take the time to select the right tequila to complement each course and you will discover how tequila makes an excellent pairing with a wide variety of foods.

New LAX-Tepic route turns the page to Nayarit's next chapter
Most travelers heading to Mexico's Pacific coast have long defaulted to the well-worn paths: Puerto Vallarta for beach, Guadalajara for city and the Riviera Nayarit corridor for luxury. But there's a new route on the radar that throws a new opportunity for travel advisors and their clients. On July 16, Volaris will launch its first international flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Tepic-Riviera Nayarit Airport (TPQ). For the first time, travelers can fly directly into the heart of inland Nayarit without needing to connect through Puerto Vallarta or Guadalajara. It's a move that quietly signals a transformation for the state of Nayarit, and an opportunity for travel advisors looking to tap into a destination that's under the radar for U.S. travelers. The three-times-weekly route (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) will simplify access to Nayarit's capital and surrounding regions. Tepic may not yet be a household name, but the revamped airport and new airlift marks a shift. It opens a gateway that connects travelers to the entire estate, from the highlands to the beaches. For travel advisors, this new flight is a chance to expand beyond the traditional resort-heavy offerings of the Riviera Nayarit and craft itineraries that combine culture, food, mountains and beach. Additional infrastructure investment In preparation for its international debut, Tepic's airport underwent a major face-lift to the tune of $240 million in public and private investment. The expansion included a bigger runway to accommodate larger aircraft, building a new passenger terminal and adding customs and immigration facilities. The newly international-ready airport is expected to handle up to 4 million passengers annually in its first phase. Road infrastructure has also improved, with direct highways connecting Tepic to the coast in just over an hour. Travelers can now access the northern Riviera Nayarit beach towns without flying into Puerto Vallarta. For travelers visiting family in the region or returning to explore their roots, the LAX-TPQ flight eliminates the extra leg in what is typically a lengthy journey. For leisure clients, it means easier access to less crowded parts of Mexico that still feel off the typical tourist trail. With this new flight, advisors can begin to spotlight destinations that have been bypassed in favor of bigger-name beach towns. San Blas, for example, is just 90 minutes from Tepic and is known for its surf waves and mangrove estuaries. Magical Towns Compostela and Jala provide a change of pace with cool mountain air, Spanish-influenced architecture and cobblestone streets. Tepic itself is growing as a destination, with a historic downtown, museums and hotels. It's also worth noting that inland Nayarit is positioning itself to become a hot spot for boutique wellness and nature-focused escapes. Advisors looking to cater to the slow travel movement will find opportunities in the state's highland towns, forested reserves and eco-lodges. On the coast, luxury names like the newly opened Rosewood Mandarina are still accessible — now from a less congested airport with shorter wait times and less competition for flights.
