Did Heaven loose an angel? Or did I drink too much tequila?
If you were one of the “blessed” ones to spot a flock of angels gracing the streets of Santa Monica yesterday, I hope you were anointed with a shot of delicious Gran Centenario following the procession which ended joyously at Blue Plate Taco. Tequila is a magical elixir and one of my all time favorites to sip any day of the week, especially in preparation for Cinco de Mayo!
At 5:30 pm, a golden angel came to life and blew her horn to summon an array of beautiful white angels who handed out replicas of Mexico’s 1921 Centenario Gold Bullion Coin and shared details of the search of these Angels In Training with attendants and passersby’s.
What makes a good tequila? Gran Centenario is a tequila rich in history and Mexican heritage which is distilled from carefully selected 10 year old blue agave plants and aged in new oak barrels to achieve the perfect balance of taste and smoothness. From the smoothness of the bottle design to the smoothness of the taste, you can’t go wrong with this brand whether you’re mixing it or drinking it straight.
The event was perfectly situated on the open patio and guests, including the TGIFguide team, enjoyed the signature Golden Angel cocktail (recipe below) along with Blue Plate Taco signature dishes including the Ceviche Mixto, Flautas, Quesadillas and Veggie tacos to name a few. We had a blast getting to know the great team behind the event and sipping shots with the angels.
Starting today on Cinco De Mayo, these angels will disperse into neighborhoods throughout “the City of Angels” in search of these AITs who will all be invited and honored at a private celeb hosted event at the Mondrian Hotel in Hollywood on Tuesday May 19th.
Here’s the delicious recipe so you can enjoy too!
Golden Angel Recipe:
1 1/2 oz Gran Centenario
1/3 oz Agave Nectar
1/2 oz pressed ginger
1/2 oz fresh lemon
1/2 oz fresh lime.
Dash of kosher salt
So, be an angel and get me a glass of tequila, will you? And make it a Centenario, please darling. Salud 😉
