The format will allow tequila aficionados (or even novices) to mix and mingle while tasting the perfectly paired agave spirit cocktails and small bites. The tasting event starts at 6:00 p.m. Guests will receive recipe cards for each cocktail, and for those who want to see agave spirit production up close and personal, Railean will be raffling tours of their distillery to some lucky guests.

Railean El Perico is Texas’ first and only agave spirit. It is and ultra premium agave spirit made from 100% Blue Agave, just like Tequila from Mexico, however because it is manufactured in the USA, it legally cannot be called Tequila. It is a Made in the USA and Go Texan certified product, being exclusively fermented, distilled and bottled by Railean Distillers, LLC in San Leon, Texas.
