Why Jose Cuervo Tequila?
In 1758, José Antonio de Cuervo y Valdés began growing blue agave plants in the Taberna de Cuervo field in central Mexico. The blue agave plant is a water-holding plant that he soon discovered can be used to make tequila. Almost 40 years later, José Maria Guadalupe Cuervo y Montana was granted permission from the king of Spain to produce tequila and distribute it to the world.
The Cuervo family has been producing tequila at La Rojeña, the oldest active distillery in Latin America, ever since. The Beckmann family of Mexico, descended from Don José Antonio de Cuervo, still runs Jose Cuervo. The company's sixth-generation leader, Juan-Domingo Beckmann, is now at the helm.
Nowadays, Jose Cuervo produces a whole family of liquor, including Jose Cuervo Tequila Añejo, Plata, Reposado, and Especial. They also make bottles of ready-to-drink margaritas in several flavors and several other great products. Although any of the Jose Cuervo tequila can be enjoyed on its own as a shot or on the rocks, it's always fun to drink in interesting ways. There are hundreds of differentcocktail recipes that call for Cuervo tequila and here are a few favorites:
