Frequently Asked Questions
- Qual é a melhor tequila para Margaritas de Cinco de Mayo?
- Para fazer Margaritas em lote, use uma tequila blanco limpa, com notas cítricas, feita de 100% agave azul weber. Espolón Blanco, Cimarrón e Olmeca Altos são excelentes opções adequadas para lotes que não vão quebrar o orçamento em volume. Evite qualquer coisa que não diga '100% agave' no rótulo — tequilas mixto usam açúcares adicionados que produzem sabores ásperos e piores ressacas. Uma blanco de faixa média de R$100-150 é o ponto ideal para Margaritas em quantidade de festa.
- Como fazer uma Michelada para uma multidão?
- Prepare a base com antecedência: combine suco de tomate ou Clamato, suco de limão fresco, molho picante (Valentina ou Cholula são tradicionais), molho inglês, molho de soja e uma pitada de pimenta-do-reino em uma jarra grande. Refrigere por pelo menos uma hora para que os sabores se misturem. Na hora de servir, faça a borda dos copos com tempero Tajín, encha até a metade com a base e complete com cerveja mexicana gelada (Modelo Especial ou Pacifico). A cerveja deve ser adicionada por copo para manter a carbonatação.
- Que comida combina melhor com coquetéis de tequila numa festa de Cinco de Mayo?
- Margaritas e Palomas cortam através de alimentos ricos e gordurosos — são parceiros naturais para carnitas, al pastor, tacos de carne asada e qualquer coisa com queijo derretido. A acidez do limão e a borda salgada limpam o paladar entre as mordidas. Para uma Michelada, combine com ceviche, elote ou coquetel de camarão — a bebida saborosa à base de tomate espelha o perfil de sabor. Guacamole e pico de gallo fresco funcionam com qualquer drink de tequila. Evite sobremesas muito doces; prefira churros ou paletas que não vão entrar em conflito com os coquetéis.
