Salud Tequila Lounge is known for offering a wide selection of the finest 100% agave tequilas in Chicago. I dined at the lounge for the first time last Thursday for a dinner event featuring Don Julio Tequila. Don Julio, a Diageo product, is named after its founder Don Julio Gonzalez Estrada. Don Julio Tequila is said to be the #1 choice of Tequila in Mexico. Once again, you should have been there. Included in the low price of $40 was a 3 course meal, 3 sample shots of Don Julio Tequila, 3 specialty Don Julio cocktails with each course, and a special presentation by a Don Julio representative. The meal opened with roasted poblano peppers stuffed with chicken and served with a black bean sauce. The main course was sauteed tilapia with mashed potatoes and chipotle cabbage salad. Both were quite good. Dessert was chocolate chip cheesecake topped with raspberry sauce. But back to the focus of the evening - the Tequila. We were welcomed with a Don Julio Marguarita, did a tasting of Don Julio Blanco, had a Don-Tini made with Don Julio silver with our appetizer, did a tasting of Don Julio Reposado (aged 2 month to 1 year), had a Toronrosa made with Don Julio Reposado with the Tilapia, and then did a tasting of Don Julio Anejo (aged more than 1 year). The evening closed with a special treat. We were served Don Julio's 1942, which was the year the company was founded. I suggest checking out Salud Tequila Lounge's website for future events. See you there!
