Yesterday Tanteo Tequila, a brand of hand-crafted, naturally infused premium Blanco tequilas, hosted a wonderful event at Milk Studios in New York City where guests could taste-test their three tequila varieties — Jalapeño, Chocolate and Tropical via four expertly crafted cocktails — and munch on delicious hors d’oeuvres prepared in an open kitchen by Serge Becker’s hot spot La Esquina. The event also celebrated three rising star Mexican artists who won a contest sponsored by Tanteo Tequila.
The competition invited artists across all media whose work is inspired by both Mexico and New York to submit samples of their art and describe how the two cultures inspire them. A panel of influential New Yorkers who have dedicated their lives to Mexican culture in New York City identified the top three artists and each of the winners received a $500 honorarium at the event.

On the drink front, A60 is re-introducing the Plum Sake Sangria, a cocktail created exclusively for A60. Two other new seasonal cocktails on the menu are the Strawberry Limoncello Martini (4 muddled strawberries, 3 oz citus vodka, 1.5 oz limoncello, splash of simple syrup) and Cucumber Kiwi (2 spoons of chopped cucumber, 1/2 a kiwi (both muddled), 2 oz vodka, .5 oz simple syrup, 2 oz apple puree).
A60’s food menu starts Memorial Day Weekend, but it is set to include spicy Thai hors d’oeuvres (Thai beef salad and tuna tartare) from 60 Thompson’s Kittichai, bar bites (spring rolls and duck wraps) from 60 Thompson’s Thom Bar and some new additions (spicy tuna roll, edamame, pulled pork bruschetta and steamed wontons).
