Tequila is very popular in the UK nowadays, and why not? When we think of Tequila we picture licking salt, tossing a shot to the back of our throat and sucking a lime in quick succession.
It’s fun – but the hedonist in me feels that there’s so much more to this fabulous spirit.
So what is so especial about Jose Cuervo Tequila Especial? Well Tequila is pretty exclusive – it’s only made in Mexico, and only four states are allowed to produce it. Naturally these regions include Tequila city, where, guess what, the Jose Cuervo distillery has been making Tequila since 1758. The process is slow and careful – huge blue agave plants are nurtured for anything from seven to fourteen years, then the piña, the very heart of the plant, is roasted and crushed to release the wonderful juices which are fermented and distilled. So after all that effort, how should we enjoy this very special and unique spirit?
Shots are traditional but it’s great sipped slowly on the rocks, or how about a delicious cocktail? The classic Margarita is my favourite, but there are some fabulous new alternatives too. You can find some really fun suggestions on the Jose Cuervo website.
Now for some great news. Jose Cuervo have created a new cocktail called Push The Button, in celebration of National Tequila Day (24th July if it isn’t in your diary). The recipe for Push The Button is below and frankly it’s heavenly (I’m sipping it now).
But, but, but, this new cocktail is named after an amazing competition to win a year’s supply of Jose Cuervo. If you win, you will literally just have to push a button and a bottle of Jose Cuervo Tequila will be sent automatically, directly to your door – for free, up to once a month for a whole year.
So here you go, enter now through the social media platform of your choice:

And if you win, or even if you don’t – enjoy your Tequila but drink responsibly.
