Tequila Zarpado Blanco is a delectable white tequila that is perfect to use in a variety of cocktails. Made in small batches in Jalisco, Mexico from 100% Blue Agave, this clear, smooth tequila is imported by Latitude Beverage Co. in Massachusetts. From the bottle label’s attractive artwork, created by Mexican artist Joaquin Nava, to its wooden stopper, Tequila Zarpado Blanco makes a stylish statement for tequila fans. We had fun creating creative cocktail recipes and also used this stellar tequila in culinary recipes. Salud!
Product Information: Tequila Zarpado Blanco made in Jalisco, Mexico in small batches from fully mature 100% Pure Blue Agave grown in Los Valles of Jalisco. The blue agave is handpicked, then cooked, and fermented in steel vats, and is then double-distilled in Alembic stills. 40% alcohol. Retail: $26.99/750 ml bottle.
Bottle Notes: “This Tequila is handcrafted from 100% Blue Agave grown in the mineral-rich soils of the Valles of Jalisco. Double-distilled and produced in small batches. Tequila Zarpado Blanco is made at an award-winning, family-owned distillery using methods that have been developed for nearly four decades.”
Tasting Notes: The color is crystal clear. Sweet notes on the nose follow through on the palate with warmth and an earthy sweetness. The delectably lingering finish works well in cocktails, sipped on its own, or used to enhance the flavors in culinary recipes.

Note: While we like to serve this cocktail semi-frozen, you can also make the cocktail and serve it over ice or serve hot.
Luxury Experience – That’s Amore
Luxury Experience – That’s Amore is our playful reference to the product name, and that Stanislao Cobianchi created Amaro Montenegro for his love of Elena. We blended Amaro Montenegro, Tequila Zarpado Blanco which complements the herbaceous notes of the liqueur, with orange juice, and added 3 dashes of Fee Brothers West Indian Orange Bitters to create this decadently delicious cocktail. We jazzed up the presentation with an espresso rim and a fanciful orange peel garnish.

Luxury Experience – Roasted Tomato & Shishito Pepper Soup

We dry-roasted tomatoes, onions, and shishito peppers in a sauté pan, then blended this delicious and easy to make soup with chicken bouillon, Tequila Zarpado Blanco, salt and pepper, agave nectar to add a hint of sweetness, and a touch of freshly squeezed lime juice to balance the flavors.

Method for the Soup: Heat a large, heavy bottom skillet, add whole tomatoes, onion placed cut side down, and shishito peppers to the pan, and dry roast them (do not add oil). Turn the tomatoes, peppers, and onions over while cooking so that the vegetables do not burn. Cover, and sauté until vegetables are tender. Place them in a blender with the rest of the ingredients and puree until smooth. Serve chilled or hot.
For the Garnish: Add a tiny amount of Extra Virgin Olive Oil to a sauté pan, add the shishito peppers and blister them (let them turn slightly brown), remove from heat.
Presentation: For an elegant, chilled presentation, serve the soup in a Martini glass and garnish it with a blistered shishito pepper.
Until next time, cheers, it’s cocktail time!
