National Tequila Day (7/24) Is Almost Here! Try Dano’s Tequila for GREAT Sips!

 

Celebrate National Tequila Day on Saturday, July 24 with a “Dano-Rita” made with Dano’s Tequila Pineapple & Jalapeño Fresh Fruit Infused Tequila, it is the only tequila on the market to have a fruit infusion. It is also the one of cleanest tequilas, with no preservatives or additives. This is the way tequila was meant to be enjoyed.

 

 

 

About the brand: 

During 50 years of seeking out the best surf breaks and the best tequila Mexico has to offer, Dano started infusing his favorite tequila with Pineapple and Jalapeno, creating a smooth, easy to drink tequila that turned friends into fans and gained a local following in Dano’s hometown of Steamboat, Colorado. From there, local friend Chris Timmerman joined Dano on a trip to Mexico, where they discovered Hacienda de Reyes, the second oldest distillery in Mexico. They met the Reyes family, who have been hand-crafting tequila in their small, family-run Tequila distillery in Tequila, Jalisco for four generations, and struck a deal to start producing Dano’s Tequila. In the historic town of Tequila, the Reyes family crafts Dano’s Tequila Infusion using 100% Agave Azul Blanco Tequila and Fresh Pineapples and Jalapenos as well as the best tasting, ultra-premium Dano’s Blanco, Reposado and Anejo Tequilas.

Founded in 2018 in Steamboat Springs, CO, Dano’s Tequila stands out from others with its line of ultra-premium, 100% agave tequilas — each of which are handcrafted in small batches with zero additives. Available in retailers, bars, and restaurants all throughout the country and for purchase online from anywhere in the US,  Dano’s portfolio features four award-winning expressions including the original Pineapple & Jalapeño infusion, as well as Blanco, Reposado and Añejo.

Disclosure:
I was recently sent a bottle of Dano Tequila brand’s Pineapple & Jalapeño Fresh Fruit-Infused Tequila.
As I have stated in many other posts, for me to review a product and to be able to tell you how it tastes and how best to use a specific product, I need to have the product to taste.  When it comes to reviews of spirits and beverages, TASTE is the most important element, and the second being that the product is easily accessible.

Here’s the next to the best part of National Tequila Day; I get to share cocktail recipes with you. (The best part of National Tequila Day is mixing up some cocktails!)

Disclosure: 
All of the cocktail recipes from Dano’s Tequila are easy and will be very tasty. I was pleased to get a bottle of Dano’s Pineapple & Jalapeno Tequila to test drive. Straight up you get a great first sip. You can taste the pineapple which is the note that comes up first, and then suddenly you can taste the jalapeno aspect.  This unusual tequila delivers a complex and tasty flavor profile.
The point of my disclosure is that I would not be able to tell you how great this specific tequila is if I didn’t get the bottle to try it. It helps me understand just what Dano’s brand is doing and how ingenious the brand is to have created this specific blend.  Getting the bottle helped me understand the brand and how it created this unusual infused tequila.  Otherwise, I couldn’t begin to tell you much about the brand at all.
