"citrus citrico" news and stories

It's tempting to opt for heavy, indulgent food and drinks for Valentine's Day, like chocolates and cream-based soups and sauces. Keeping flavors light is a much better idea because, unless your idea of a romantic evening is being lulled to sleep by a full stomach, brighter flavors, like citrus, are a fun and palate cleansing choice. The Sweetheart Shot uses citrus in the form of Cuervo Citrico, the new citrus flavored tequila from Jose Cuervo. It primarily has a lime flavor, but unlike simply squeezing a lime into a regular shot, there is a sweet undercurrent that cuts the acidity. This drink is not the sort of romantic one you sip by the fire; shots usually go down quickly. Think of it as a light, quick kiss - but still with some heat to it.
