SOL Cocina, an innovative Newport Beach restaurant serving delectable Mexican cuisine and an unparalleled waterside location has announced its first “tequila dinner” of 2010.  These tequila dinners are something I, for one, am looking forward to in the New Year!

Set for January 20th and at a price of $50 per person excluding tax and gratuity, SOL is highlighting Corzo tequila, a spirit bottled in something so sleek and modern-looking you may confuse it for a huge bottle of cologne.

The menu looks amazing with three courses introduced by tray-passed cocktails and appetizers, and ending with a pairing of chocolate soufflé cake with Corzo Reposado.

FIRST COURSE

White Corn & Grilled Poblano Soup with Crema & Pepitas

Paired with Corzo Reposado Tequila

SECOND COURSE

Seared sea scallop ‘en nogada’ on tostone with creamy poblano chile sauce, pomegranate seeds and crumbled walnuts

THIRD COURSE

Paired with Corzo Anejo Tequila

DESSERT

Fallen chocolate souffle cake with piloncillo caramel sauce, spicy mango / pineapple compote and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Paired with Corzo Reposado Tequila
