Jimador: The name or term given to a farmer who grows and harvests the agave plants for tequila. The role is often passed down through generations, and the Jimador is able to tell the precise moment when the agave is ripe and ready for harvesting. When it comes to liqueurs, it is difficult to find a better recipe than Bicerin. There has never been any change to the recipe, and the nutty and chocolate flavors that Turinians know and appreciate remain unchanged. Despite the fact that the alcohol taste is subtle, it is likely to be Godiva chocolate that contributes to the flavor of the spirit. Milk and white chocolate liqueurs are both present in this product, but it is also dairy-free due to dairy products. As a classic, it is unlikely that the Bicerin recipe will change anytime soon. Nonetheless, thanks to companies such as Godiva, which continuously strive to make their products as good as possible, liqueur drinkers will continue to enjoy it. Does Tequila Go Well With Chocolate? When it comes to the actual production of the spirit, the process isn’t any more straightforward. The harvested Piñas – the heart of the plant used to produce tequila – from the agave are steam-baked to bring out the sugar, which can then be fermented to produce alcohol. After cooking, the Piña is shredded to release the juice, which is then made into alcohol using yeast. I was born and raised in Mexico, and my passion for food began at a young age. I come from a family of passionate cooks, and I learned early on that cooking is a great way to show your love for others.With it’s deep amber color, QUI rare is aged in both Tennessee whisky and French Bordeaux barrels for 12 years. What this achieves is an incredibly smooth and elegant tequila, featuring fragrant scents of tobacco, caramel and vanilla, while tasting hints of sweat oak. With a smooth, buttery finish, this resembles less of a tequila, and more of a exceptional scotch whisky! Another best-selling brand, Don Julio launched in 1942 and was named after Don Julio González, the brand’s first Jimador. Owned by spirits-giant Diageo, Don Julio is enjoyed by tequila lovers all over the world and is known for being a staple brand.

Another popular brand across Mexico, Corralejo’s Reposado tequila, comes in a light straw color, thanks to the aging process. It’s a tequila with an interesting nose, made up of a strong vanilla aroma and additional hints of peppercorn and pear.For the chocolate liqueur, indulge with the creamiest, most chocolatey spirit that you can find. Godiva, Dorda, and Mozart are a few brands worth exploring. Dark crème de cacao, like that from Bols, is an excellent choice as well. Clase Azul raises expectations with its attention to detail on the outside, and these expectations are fulfilled when it comes to sipping the rested tequila, too. As of right now, there is not a chocolate tequila on the market. However, there are many recipes online for how to make your own chocolate tequila at home. Winning the title of “Best Tequila in the World” at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge in 2014, this tequila is aged for 49 months, imparting it with a rich, dark color. Incredibly smooth with a long and sweet but subtle aftertaste, Herradura implores you to drink it neat. If you want something else from this crew, keep an eye out for the 150th anniversary edition, aged for a whopping 100 months (or over 8 years, if you’re not a math person). The “Roca” range of spirits refers to those that have been produced in smaller batches with even greater attention to detail. For an impressive all-around tequila, the Roca Patrón Reposado is definitely a strong choice. It’s smooth and balanced, with hints of ginger, wood, cooked agave, and citrus.
