[PATRON PERFECTIONIST - CHALLENGE 2] - PATRON X SELLER’S MARKET - for this challenge we were given a certain budget and time to go to a market in Guadalajara to pick at least 2 ingredients and create 4 servings of a cocktail, to be presented tableside to @tomsstory @juliopapadoble @morko.koral @waynere - this challenge pushed us to think on our feet and our ability to plan and choose the best way to extract flavors in a certain amount of time that we had for prepping before the challenge. For this challenge I not only picked 2 ingredients from the market but actually all my ingredients (excluding the tequila) were from the market: Ajenjo, Pericon, Mamey, Tamarind, agave, salt. Yielding the name of my cocktail called “TIANGUIS” which translates to market in Nahuatl. The garnish, was an edible candy made out of the remaining of the tamarind after I extracted the flavors that I needed, mixed with the leftover of mamey, and a little bit of sugar. The presentation of this candy was inspired on a pulparindo which I saw also in the market on that day!. What an honor was to make you judges this drink and to present in front of you. One of the most unforgettable experiences, thank you @morko.koral @waynere @juliopapadoble @tomsstory @academia_patron #patrontequila #talesperfectionists JV
