Tequila Thursday

0 comments By Cafe Coyote Filed in Tequila November 3rd, 2011 @ 3:21 am

Here at Café Coyote we want to get you ready for your weekend by celebrating your upcoming mini vacation with some of the world’s most premium Tequilas along with some creative tequila based cocktails.  Every Thursday Café Coyote likes to spot light one of our 100+ tequilas and create a cocktail, other than a margarita, to offer guests a new tequila drinking experience.  Our resident mixologist Kenny Kaufmann works closely with the crew of bartenders and Tequila Ambassadors to come up with new and innovative ways to pair Tequila with the freshest ingredients like: berries, peppers, mint and other exotic spices to create a truly unique drinking experience.

 

Tequila is becoming known far and wide as a quality spirit for consumption at almost any type of event.  Café Coyote has chosen Thursday to be our weekly day of appreciation for the spirit and have added a lobster Dinner special to the menu to further enhance the Thursday night experience.  Once you arrive at Café Coyote on Thursday you will notice the display that the Tequila Ambassador has put up to show everyone.  Starting with what particular brand of tequila we will be spot lighting and what new and creative cocktail will be served.

 

Tequilas are not just for shots anymore and Café Coyote is just the place to show you how to enjoy this spirit in a new and exciting way!  Please join us every Thursday and ask your server, hostess, busboy or anyone wearing or colorful Coyote T-shirt about talking to one of our in house Tequila Ambassadors to create a night of tequila magic that you will want to experience again and again.

A Summer of fun!!

A Summer of Fun

 

So many things to do in America’s Finest City, San Diego! Last weekend Café Coyote participated in the 3rd annual San Diego Spirits Festival. This two-day celebration of spirits, local mixology and great fun was held at the stunning Port Pavilion on the Broadway Pier.  The weather was just right for an afternoon of local food, art and a diversity of beverages.

 

60 international and local liquor brands presented their products in a creative fashion to attract hundreds of people that passed by their booths. The party was wild! Many wanted to continue the party in a responsible manner. The after party continued in many of San Diego’s local hot sports; one of them being our very own, Café Coyote.

 

I was privileged to set up a table that featured 4 of some the finest tequilas in Mexico: 1519, Fortaleza, Don Fulano, Tanteo infused and Chihuahua’s famous Don Cuco Sotol.

There were many other though: Milagro, Agave Underground, Kah, Agave 99 and Sonora Mexico’s Bacanora from the rare agave Pacifica also shone in this diverse assortment of spirits.

 

Summer has just arrived and there is still time to enjoy San Diego’s perfect weather!

Taco Tuesday, Tequila Thursday, bloody Maria Sundays with smoky Mezcal. Wow, there is a party here everyday!

 

This weekend will literally be a blast with Fourth of July weekend.  Ask for a  ‘Red, White, and Blue Margarita to support this great country, The United States Of America!

Ask for quality 100% agave tequila in your drink so that the only starts you see are the stars on our beautiful flag and not the stars you see after a horrible hangover when you drink average tequila.

 

I will be here all weekend and hope to see you at this award winning place, Café Coyote!

 

Salud !!

The Endless Summer

 

June is here and summer is just around the corner. It seems that summer never ends in America’s finest city. This endless summer calls for cold drinks in a casual and relaxing ambiance. The place to visit this hot summer is Café Coyote! The entire month of June is set aside to teach you about tequila Cazadores and our delicious and complex cocktails made with this legendary brand. Tequila Cazadores (the one with the deer on the label) is produced in Arandas, Jalisco.  Arandas is located in the southern part of Los Altos (The Highlands) of Jalisco, which is just 100 kilometers to the east of Guadalajara. Arandas is known for its rich, red and fertile soil. Some of the world’s best tequilas were born in this noble place.

 

This Thursday I will be making a, “Blood Orange Cream sickle Margarita.“ Join me at Café Coyote from 6-9p.m. to learn step by step the correct way to make it. Discover what a difference it makes to pour 100 percent agave tequila in some of your favorite cocktails and dare to taste new innovations with fresh ingredients.

 

Besides being Tequila Thursday, it is also Lobster Thursday.  Deep-fried Main Lobster, Puerto Nuevo style goes great with our weekly-featured cocktails. If you overstuff yourself with our generous portions of food, I can guide you to excellent tequila that will take care of that full belly feeling.  In many parts of Mexico it is a custom to sip on tequila after a meal. They call it,  “el desempanze,” in other words a great digestive.

 

See you soon!

 

Salud!
