Move over oysters, this tequila has got you beat when it comes to my palate. Honestly I've never tried oysters, and I can't say that I ever will, but there was no arm twisting here when it came time to trying this "oh so smooth" tequila. The deep sea glass green bottle, embellished with pressed blue agave leaves, hides a very mysterious golden liquid that was created and designed to awaken inner passion. When I read the description to my husband, he couldn't open the bottle fast enough! In a blink of an eye, he had out the shot glasses and was ready to help me with my review. Wow, I have to admit, it was completely different than my Jose Cuervo. I was not expecting the sweet flavor that went easily down my throat without any wincing or help from salt and citrus. My husband then decided he wanted to try his with coffee and he loved it.
Named after the agave plant, Agavero is an expert blend of anejo and reposado tequilas. These tequilas are aged separately in charred, white oak caskes, then hand-blended with the essence of Damiana flower. This is what makes Agavero smoother than other tequilas. Agavero can be enjoyed neat or chilled with a twist of lime, in hot coffee, passionate cocktails, and of course, the Lover's Margarita. The Damiana flower is a native to the high altitudes of Mexico and known as an aphrodisiac. The two are blended together to create this secret, hand crafted spirit that dates back to 1857.
With an average retail cost of $30 for a 750 ml bottle, Agavero can now be found across the US at many excellent bars, clubs, and restaurants. I would even suggest calling your local liquor store to see if they carry this product.
As I am finishing this review, my husband just entered my office with an iced coffee and Agavero for me. It's Awesome! Sorry ladies, if you have trouble finding it in Massachusettes, my husband might have purchased it all!
Aphrodisiacs in Tequila?????
Yup! Go figure, a man invented this one in 1857
Don't miss the recipe below for the tiramisu by Diane Brown! Chocolate and Agavero! Can't get any better than that!
Aphrodisiacs have been around for centuries, but now they are being blended in spirits. Agavero is the first and only ultra-premium tequila infused with the natural essence of Damiana, a flower renowned for centuries in Mexico as an aphrodisiac. This luscious tequila is named after the blue agave plant from which Agavero is made. Agavero is designed to awaken your inner passion. The fusion of the masculinity of agave and the seductive power of Damiana creates a magical passionate experience unique to Agavero.
The blend of Agavero comes from select 100 percent blue agave añejo and reposado tequilas, each aged separately in charred, white oak casks. The secret ingredient is the essence of natural Damiana, a flower native to the high altitudes of Mexico. T
The essence of the Damiana in Agavero allows it to be a unique spirit that blends well with foods and cocktails. The signature cocktail for summer is the “Aphrodisiac.” The Aphrodisiac is the ideal way to get the summer started off right. While you are sipping on your seductive cocktail, try a seductive dessert as well, the Agavero Tiramisu. The Aphrodisiac and the Agavero Tiramisu were created by seductive food expert and author of “The Seduction Cookbook,” Diane Brown.

Agavero Tiramisu
From the Kitchen of Diane Brown
3 eggs, divided
½ cup sugar
8 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 shots espresso
½ cup plus two tablespoons Agavero
24 ladyfingers
4 ounces El Rey Bucare Chocolate
2 tablespoons cocoa nibs
In a mixing bowl with a handheld or stationary mixer, beat egg yolks and sugar until eggs lighten in color, about 3 minutes. Add mascarpone, cinnamon and 2 tablespoons Agavero to egg mixture, blending until smooth, about 3 minutes. In a second mixing bowl, beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Fold egg white mixture into egg yolk mixture.
In a small bowl, mix espresso and remaining Agavero. Dip ladyfingers into the espresso mixture until lightly moistened. Line the bottom of 6 margarita glasses with two ladyfingers each. Spread a layer of mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, and then shave a thin sprinkling of chocolate over the cheese, using a microplane. Repeat with another layer of two ladyfingers dipped in espresso mixture, a layer of mascarpone and a layer of chocolate shavings.
Cover and refrigerate for 1-3 hours. Garnish with a ½ teaspoon of cocoa nibs on each tiramisu glass. Serve chilled. Makes 6 servings.
