Carlsbad CA— Diane Powers’ Casa de Bandini will host a multi-course tequila tasting dinner featuring premium tequila brand, Casamigos on Thursday, June 20 at 6 p.m.
Guests will enjoy a four-course meal including favorites such as Camarones Envueltos, bacon-wrapped shrimp skewers with mango dressing; Fiesta Ensalada with cilantro-lime dressing; Carne Asada with Tequila Lime Shrimp; and Sopapillas, fried puff pastries sprinkled with cinnamon and served with ice cream and honey for dessert. Dishes will be paired with Casamigos Silver, Reposado and Añejo tequila, a classic margarita and a delicious Mezcal cocktail to go with dessert.
Created by longtime friends George Clooney, Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman, Casamigos launched in 2013 on the premise of creating the best-tasting, smoothest tequila. Casamigos tequila is made from the finest, hand-selected Blue Weber agaves, grown in the rich red clay and cool climate of Jalisco, Mexico. The brand’s name comes from the Spanish “casa” and “amigos,” meaning house and friends, making it a perfect fit for customers of Casa de Bandini.
During dinner guests will hear from experts on the development and production of tequila, including how it originates from the city of Tequila in Mexico, and how it remains one of Mexico’s most popular alcoholic beverages today.
Casa de Bandini is located at The Forum Carlsbad, 1901 Calle Barcelona. Tickets are $50 each. To RSVP, please call 760.634.3443.
