We've been wanting to do a Tequila-pairing dinner for quite some time. For timing, Cinco de Mayo seemed a tad obvious and there are way too many other options else going on, so we moved our dinner a little later in May. Chefs Susan and Ken got together with some of our area's best Spirits providers to create a wonderful menu featuring AMAZING tequilas, paired with some amazing and unique Mexican and Tex-Mex flavors.
Important things:
Each course is paired with a specially curated mini-cocktail, and presented with a small shot on the side that can be poured into the cocktail to your liking. We'll be featuring Tequila, Reposados and Mezcals.
​
After all, this is a pairing dinner, not a fraternity party.
​
And for the Tequila-adverse, and/or perhaps even Tequila- Adjacents, we will have a house beer and wine flight available. You can even specify this when you purchase your tickets.
​
Your ticket includes:
Five Course Dinner
Paired Mini-Cocktails
& Gratuity!
