Tequila is one of the trendiest drinks. Precisely for this reason, there are many people who are being encouraged to make pairings with the different types of tequila that exist today. But how to pair tequila correctly, what should be taken into account and what are the steps to follow to do it correctly?
Here’s how to pair tequila correctly to surprise all your guests at home. Once they try, they’ll come back for more!
There are two different ways of pairing tequila. Both ways are correct, so you will have to decide which one best suits you and your tastes.
The first way to make a pairing with tequila is very simple. First you must take a sip of the drink, tequila in this case, and then you must take some of the food and chew it until it is completely swallowed. After this, a sip of the drink is taken again to wrap all the flavors in the palate and enjoy the mixture, whether it is pairing by affinity or by contrast.
The second way of pairing tequila is perhaps the least used. It involves drinking the tequila and eating the food at the same time, which means that you will taste the drink at the same time you are chewing the food. The flavors will blend and you will have the pairing you were looking for. Why is this way less used? Precisely it’s because not everyone likes to eat and drink at the same time.
Likewise, to capture all the aromas and flavors of the drink, it is important not to drink tequila in one gulp. It is essential to stop to taste correctly. If you want to do it perfectly, you should follow these steps:
Once you have done this, you will be able to perceive on your palate the notes of both products, that is, the drink and the food, and you will be able to say that you have made a perfect pairing, either by affinity or by contrast.
