Tequila takeover….
Forget Taco Tuesday. This week, it was Wednesday that was lit on the west side.
On Nov. 8, Cantera Negra Tequila hosted a special party at Create Studios, a gallery style event space in Venice to celebrate the award-winning spirit. Guests got to spend some time with Cantera Negra’s Master Blender Dan Becherano and try out the label’s signature cocktails, such as the Tommy’s Margarita, El Sol, Cantera Siesta and Noche Negra.
There were also Abbot’s Butcher-filled vegan tacos on hand from Tocaya and other bites for partygoers to go enjoy.
Cantera Negra is award-winning, ultra-premium tequila, hand-crafted in small batch quantities from 40 years of family tradition in Mexico. Decades ago, Don Alberto Becherano began making tequila as a hobby, and he has been perfecting his proprietary method for making what we believe to be among the best tasting tequilas in the world ever since, and now alongside his son, Dan, who is the Master Blender.
Cantera Negra means “Black Quarry,” inspired by the rich volcanic soil from where its agaves grow. The tequila is handcrafted in small-batch quantities using 100% fully mature Blue Weber agaves. Never adding sugars or color, the label believes in never cutting corners and permits only time-honored traditional production methods. Because of this approach, the outstanding quality of the all-natural tequila speaks for itself.
Check out the signature Cantera Negra cocktail recipes below, then launch the slideshow to see more pics from the party.
