Friday, October 4th is National Taco Day! Tacos are a universal food that can be enjoyed any day of the week and any day of the year. There are also various recipes and alternative ingredients to the traditional taco, including Tequila!
Tanteo Tequila is an ideal choice for the home entertainer, taking the guesswork out of creating perfect, spicy recipes every time. Freshly picked peppers are infused into Tanteo’s handcrafted, overproof Blanco tequila, creating impeccable balance with every pour.
“Being handmade and using real peppers provides a new challenge in consistency. We solve this by tasting everything, and constantly tweaking Tanteo’s formula to keep it consistent despite peppers’ varying heat intensities, ” says CEO and Master Blender, Neil Grosscup.
