THE CHASE
A ritual for those who appreciate the spirit of tequila and the depth of espresso. Not mixed, not muddled, but perfectly chased — one sophisticated contradiction.
THE RITUAL
PREPARE THE TEQUILA
Pour 30ml of premium añejo tequila into a glass. The tequila should be at room temperature to fully express its character and caramel notes.
PREPARE THE ESPRESSO
Using freshly ground single-origin beans, extract 30ml of espresso with a rich, hazelnut-colored crema. Temperature is crucial — 92°C is ideal.
OBSERVE BOTH ELEMENTS
Take a moment to appreciate the golden clarity of the tequila and the dark richness of the espresso. Two opposing forces about to harmonize in sequence.
DRINK THE TEQUILA
Take the tequila in one smooth motion. Let it coat your palate with its warmth and subtle caramel notes. Feel the gentle burn and richness.
IMMEDIATELY CHASE WITH ESPRESSO
Without hesitation, sip the espresso. The coffee neutralizes the tequila's bitterness and the alcohol's burn, while the caramel notes of the tequila beautifully sweeten the coffee.
EMBRACE THE CONTRADICTION
Experience the remarkable transformation — the perfect digestif that provides both relaxation and alertness, avoiding the after-dinner dip with sophisticated rebellion.
PERFECT PAIRINGS
Elevate your Tequesso experience with these curated pairings of exceptional tequilas and rare single-origin espressos, each creating a unique expression of the sophisticated rebel.
THE HIGHLAND DUET
Clase Azul Reposado's gentle vanilla and caramel notes harmonize with Ethiopian Yirgacheffe espresso from Gesha Village Estate's microlot 47. The tequila's hints of agave sweetness unlock the espresso's wild blueberry and jasmine notes, creating an almost ethereal, prismatic flavor evolution.
THE VOLCANIC REVELATION
Don Julio 1942 Extra Añejo aged in white oak barrels meets Panama Esmeralda Geisha espresso from Hacienda La Esmeralda's Jaramillo plot at 1,750m elevation. The tequila's rich oak and toasted caramel profile amplifies the espresso's bergamot and stone fruit notes, creating a paradoxical impression of tropical warmth and mountain coolness.
THE MIDNIGHT SONATA
Gran Patrón Platinum, a triple-distilled silver tequila filtered for ultimate smoothness, paired with Jamaica Blue Mountain espresso from the Clifton Mount Estate's north-facing slopes. The tequila's crisp minerality and subtle citrus tones create a stunning counterpoint to the espresso's velvety chocolate and walnut undertones.
THE FORBIDDEN ALCHEMY
Tears of Llorona No. 3 Extra Extra Añejo, aged five years in scotch, sherry, and brandy barrels, meets Colombian La Esperanza Gesha, shade-grown at 2,000m in the Tolima region. The tequila's intricate spice and dried fruit complexity intertwines with the espresso's pomegranate and brown sugar notes, creating a transformative experience that defies traditional flavor categorization.
