Corzo Silver Tequila Review

Tuesday, June 23, 2009

The first thing that grabs your attention about Corzo tequila is the bottle – square, smooth, modern … not unlike a really nice cologne bottle.

But when you get past the attractive packaging, there’s a friendly tequila inside waiting to play.

It has a thin mouthfeel and an approachable taste. Though it is 100% agave it lacks the grassy flavor often found in such tequilas.

This is a clean-tasting tequila for sipping or mixing. I found that adding a tiny splash of Midori to a classic margarita made with Corzo brought out the saltier notes and balanced it quite nicely.

On its own, what it lacks in complexity it makes up for in smoothness.

Here’s a good cocktail to try for summer:

Collinsisimo

2 oz. tequila
1 oz. fresh lime juice
1 oz. Grand Marnier
Club soda

Pour the tequila, lime juice and Grand Marnier into a collins glass filled with ice. Top off with club soda and a lime wedge.

I tried a shot of this, neat, at an excellent Austin TX bar. Awful. Tastes like a cheap, funky tequila packaged in a fancy bottle in order to be promoted as something special.
