Jose Cuervo released a spooky new tequila

It’s almost October, a month that ends with a night of ghouls, ghosts, and other creepy creatures. It doesn’t necessarily feel like a month for sipping and mixing with tequila. Whiskey seems to get all the love when the weather turns cooler. But the folks at Jose Cuervo think that’s a shame. That’s why they recently released a new, unique tequila expression that’s perfect for chilly fall weather called Jose Cuervo Devil’s Reserve.

It gets its name because it’s a blend of Jose Cuervo Silver and a hit of lingering sweet heat. Instead of 80-proof, it’s bottled at a less potent 60-proof. It’s sure to add some agave, vegetal sweetness, and heat to your favorite tequila-based cocktails this October (and well into the winter months).

“Devil’s Reserve unleashes an entirely new taste upon the world of tequila, bringing the Devil’s mischievous spirit to life for those craving unforgettable nights of adventure with the perfect drink in hand,” Lander Otegui, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Proximo Spirits said in a press release. “Cuervo has an epic legacy in creating centuries of good times across 10 generations, and no one knows how to raise a little hell as much as we do. The Devil is in the details.”

Plenty of spirits brands have celebrity backers, but few have as star-studded a lineup of co-owners as Cincoro Tequila. Started by Michael Jordan and four other NBA team owners, the brand has since been joined by fellow sporting megastars including tennis legend Serena Williams, baseball hall of famer Derek Jeter, and golf pros Dustin Johnson and Keegan Bradley.

At an appropriately celebrity-filled event held yesterday in New York, the brand announced its latest expression: a limited edition Añejo Cristalino. The tequila, made from 100% Blue Weber agave, is first aged for 20 months in Tennessee Whiskey barrels, developing its flavor and a golden hue. It is then filtered to remove the color and leave behind a crystal clear liquid with delicate flavors, and a smooth mouthfeel.

The fall martini: How to put a seasonal twist on a classic
Fall is a time for a whiskey-based martini
Manhattan

If you were to make a list of iconic, classic cocktails, the martini would make the cut. While there are many stories about its genesis, it’s believed by many that famed writer and bartender Jerry Thomas created the martini in the mid to late 1800s at the Occidental Hotel in San Francisco. Whether this is its true origin story, it’s still a timeless classic drink that remains popular today.

If you’re not a big drinker, you might assume that the martini is made with vodka. In fact, if you use vodka as the base for the drink, it must be referred to as a vodka martini. The original martini consists simply of London dry gin, vermouth, and perhaps a lemon twist or olive garnish. It’s simple, elegant, and the perfect way to drink gin.
