Tequila lovers are in for a treat with the award-winning Tequila Código 1530 Rosa, as it is exceptionally smooth with layers of flavor nuances that make it equally enjoyable whether sipped neat, served over ice, used in cocktails, or to enhance culinary recipes. Made from 100% Blue Agave in Amatitán, Jalisco, México, this ultra-premium tequila has won a coveted space on our drinks table. We created three delectable cocktails and a culinary recipe that complement this outstanding product.

 

We first became acquainted with Tequila Código 1530 when they were doing tastings of their line of products over the summer at select Greenwich Polo Club matches in Greenwich, Connecticut. We figured that if Tequila Código 1530 could taste that wonderful when doing a tasting from a tiny plastic cup, we could only imagine how sensational it would be in proper spirits tasting glasses.

At home, we tasted the Tequila Código 1530 Rosa in spirits tasting glasses and its multi-level nuances and its ultra-smoothness came across our palates with an astounding "wow." What makes the product exceptional is that they start with 100% Blue Agave grown in Amatitán, Jalisco, México to create their Tequila Código 1530 Blanco, then rest it for one month in uncharred award-winning Napa Valley Cabernet French White Barrels. The result imparts a slight rose tint to the Tequila Código 1530 Rosa without overplaying the delicate flavors of the agave.

While the Tequila Código 1530 Rosa was delicious on its own, when used in cocktails, it was a knockout. While we became acquaintances over tastings at the Greenwich Polo Club, we became lasting friends when we had the opportunity to spend time together and get to know Tequila Código 1530 Rosa at our home.

Product and Bottle Information: Tequila Código 1530 Rosa is made from 100% Blue Agave in Amatitán, Jalisco, México, and bottled at the source. 40% alcohol. This exceptionally smooth tequila is presented in a stunning bottle with the Jerusalem cross on the body of the bottle and is also on bottom. $65/750-ml bottle.

Tasting Notes: The color is a delicate pink with agave and a hint of floral notes on the nose, with a lovely lasting finish.

Luxury Experience was "In The Kitchen and Behind The Bar®" creating incredibly special handcrafted cocktails and a culinary recipe to tempt your palate and inspire your own creations using Código 1530 Rosa.

Luxury Experience – Grande Caliente is our playful reference to the ingredients, Grande is for the Grand Marnier used, and Caliente is for the homemade jalapeño simple syrup that is combined with Tequila Código 1530 Rosa, pineapple juice, and lemon juice, and garnished with a floating pineapple topped with dried candied jalapeño for a spectacular cocktail with a hint of spice.

Cocktail Ingredients:

Jalapeño Simple Syrup Ingredients:

Jalapeños, (to taste), seeds removed, slice some lengthwise, and some widthwise

Important Note: The strength of jalapeños varies so cut a small piece from each of them to determine the level of heat and adjust amount used accordingly.

Method for the Jalapeño Simple Syrup: Add all ingredients to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and boil until the sugar has dissolved. Remove pan from heat and allow to cool at room temperature. Strain syrup into a glass jar and refrigerate until ready to use. Will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks. You will now bake the jalapeños in an oven to dry them out.

Method for the Candied Jalapeños: Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit/93 degrees Celsius. Place a piece of parchment on a baking sheet, add the jalapeños that were infused in the syrup. Bake until jalapeños are dry (and not sticky). Remove from the oven and cool them on a wire rack. Store in a covered glass jar until ready to use. (Will keep for at least a week.)

Method for the cocktail: Add ingredients to a metal shaker with 3 ice cubes, shake until ice is incorporated into cocktail. Add pineapple ring to a chilled Martini glass. Pour cocktail in the "hole" of the pineapple. Garnish with dried candied jalapeños.

Luxury Experience – Spirited "Pumpkin Pie" is our take on a "liquid" version of pumpkin pie. We started by rimming a Martini glass with Pink House Alchemy Pumpkin Butternut Spice Syrup and crushed graham crackers. We created the cocktail with Tequila Código 1530 Rosa, canned pumpkin puree, Pink House Alchemy Pumpkin Butternut Spice Syrup, and sweetened condensed milk, and dusted the cocktail with ground nutmeg. Garnished with a cinnamon stick.

The Culinary Recipe

Tequila Código 1530 Rosa is worth its weight in gold as a culinary enhancer. We used a small amount of it to create our recipe for Luxury Experience – Spirited Mushrooms which gave our grilled steaks an extra sophisticated and delectable finish.

About Tequila Código 1530

"We pride ourselves in striving to make Código 1530 the most selective tequila in the world, using only perfect inputs and age-old secret family processes. We hand select the best, fully matured agave, to ensure that with each harvest, our agave’s Brix level (sugar content) meets our high standards. For each small batch, we use 3x the average amount of agave for a better tasting, smooth tequila. We make each batch naturally, without any added sweeteners or colors. Each drop of Amatitán water we use is from freshwater pools and rainwater, filtered through the volcanic soil of Los Bajos. Our proprietary chopper allows us to extract only the best juice and pulp from the first press of ripe agave, to garner the purest flavor. We use an organic yeast from a small family bakery in Amatitán, rather than aggressive commercial yeast, to facilitate a more gentle and gradual fermentation process. We use the finest Napa Valley Cabernet French White Oak wine barrels in our time-honored family aging technique, rather than the more commonly used American whiskey barrels. This distinctive difference in our aging embraces the clean elegance of wine making, to produce a uniquely delicate finish."
