We had the opportunity to take an all too brief 4 day visit to Mexico, Playa del Carmen. On one particular evening we met up with a bartender who was a tequilier, or tequila specialist. He proceeded to share with us his great fascination and love of Jose Cuervo tequila. The first tequila producer in the world dating back to 1758.
We loved the story, the tequila and the cocktails so we thought we would share all of that with you. We  invite you to read the entire story The Magic of Mexico… on the Mayan Riviera featuring Jose Cuervo Tequila in Power Boating Canada.
