Don Julio Tequila: #ForThoseWhoKnow

DISCLAIMER: This post was developed in sponsored partnership with Don Julio Tequila.

What do you think of when you think of Tequila? For me, I have always thought of Don Julio Blanco, as it has always been my tequila drink of choice. Don Julio Tequila is made with the finest 100% Blue Agave Plants and distilled using a time honoured process. Don Julio Tequila is produced in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, which allows the blue agave to flourish and make for the perfect addition to your cocktail!

I recently went to a Don Julio Event in Toronto and fell in love with the Don Julio infused cocktails. The drinks were made made with Don Julio Blanco (referred to as the ‘silver’ tequila), which I particularly enjoyed. The crisp agave flavour and hints of citrus in the Don Julio Tequila made for an essential component in the innovative drinks that were served! Not to mention, Don Julio products are also perfect to pair with food due to the nature of their ingredients and the flavour undertones that exist in Don Julio variants (e.g. lemon, lime and grapefruit in Blanco)! Don Julio truly makes for a natural pairing for foods! #EnjoyResponsibly
