Celebrate Day of the Dead with a special Catadores Club Tequila Dinner pairing sophisticated Mexican cuisine with Hornitos Tequila!

Savannah Tequila Co. at Plant Riverside District will host a special Catadores Club Tequila Pairing Dinner to celebrate the traditional Mexican holiday Día de los Muertos or Day of the Dead. This one-night-only dining experience will offer an exquisite five-course dinner designed to complement the smooth, complex flavors of Hornitos premium tequila on Wednesday, Nov. 1 at 6:30 p.m.

Plant Riverside District Executive Chef Eric Fullem and his talented culinary team have thoughtfully prepared an authentic Mexican menu inspired by the bright marigold flowers and ornately decorated sugar skulls that define Día de los Muertos.

The menu for this immersive dining experience will include:

First Course: Tamales de Puerco y Acelgas

Pork Tamal and Rajas Poblano with Charred Tomatoes and Grilled Queso Fresco

 

Second Course: Crema de Frijol Pinto

Pinto Bean Soup with Tortillas, Chorizo, Avocado Cream and Ancho Chili

 

Third Course: Lobster Pibil Panucho

Lobster dipped in Annatto Butter and served on a Crispy Tortilla with Refried Beans and a Quail Egg, Charred Avocado and Xni-pec Habanero Salsa

 

Fourth Course: Taco de Arrachera y Tuétano

Skirt Steak with Grilled Bone Marrow served with an Avocado Salsa and Radishes

 

Fifth Course: Dulce de Calabaza Cheesecake

Fall Spice Cake infused with Pumpkin Compote, Mexican Chocolate Cream, Candied Pumpkin Seeds, Vanilla Crumble and topped with Orange Blossom Gelato

Each course will be perfectly paired with samples of Hornitos tequila as well as specialty cocktails. Attendees will have the rare opportunity to learn from a Hornitos spirits specialist about the Jalisco, Mexico-based company’s smooth tequila. Since 1950, Hornitos tequila has been made by cooking 100% blue agaves in special ovens, or “hornitos.”
