    With Cinco de Mayo just a few days away I'm making up a batch of our easy margarita recipe and serving them in the most beautiful margarita glasses ever! 

    I highly recommend that you add Jalapeno Cucumber Margaritas to your Cinco de Mayo menu line-up too.....you'll be very happy you did! Cheers! #CorralejoTequila #CincodeMayo

    Corralejo Tequila is made in Hacienda Corrajelo in the Guanajuato region of Mexico, the perfect place for growing the famous Weber Blue Agave used in making tequila. These hand-harvested agave plants are slowly steam cooked in traditional stone clay ovens for twenty seven hours.

    The agave then rests for twelve hours and then goes to the mill where the sweet juice is extracted and then goes on to fermentation. Each bottle is double-distilled in copper stills imported from Spain. Corralejo Tequila has a smooth, rich and natural flavor and distinct aroma due to the unique distillation method they use.

    Known for its tall colorful bottles, Corralejo tequilas include Silver, Reposado and Añejo. It is believed that these bottles stand tall with pride!

    Disclosure: I received the Corralejo Tequila for purposes of  reviewing and recipe development. All opinions are my own.
