The other cocktails Gran Centenario has created this season, served all week long, are the Angel’s Dream (a Tequila cocktail with white cranberry juice and vanilla), the Heavenly Ginger Angelita (a traditional margarita with fresh ginger extract), and the Angel’s Heart (a Tequila cocktail with pomegranate juice and rosemary).
Gran Centenario is made of the finest, sweetest, softest Highland Blue Agave, chosen after a generous life of 10 to 12 years, beyond the usual eight years for other Tequilas. The hearts of the Agave are baked for up to 72 hours in traditional clay ovens to guarantee that even the subtlest flavors of the Agave remain. After the resulting liquid is fermented and distilled, it rests in oak barrels before being blended with aged Tequila reserves. This process, known as Seleccion Suave, or smooth selection, is completely unique to Gran Centenariowhich is still crafted in the same manner as when Lazaro Gallardo originally created it in 1857. During this stage, the Master Tequilero carefully monitors the progress of the Tequila and selects only the finest, smoothest reserves for inclusion. The result is a collection of three ultra-premium Tequilas – Plata (silver), Reposado (rested) and Añejo (aged) – each one heralded for their fine quality and unique flavor.
