Canton Dinner Series at Jimmy's in Aspen.

Domaine De Canton is the benchmark of ginger liqueurs.   Last night, The Canton Dinner Series exploded into Aspen at Jimmy's American Restaurant and Bar.  Hosted by Crystal Fanale of Domaine De Canton , Jimmy Yeager, owner and Manny Diaz, Executive Chef at Jimmy's... the Canton Dinner Series was over the top.

Each delicious course was paired with a custom crafted cocktail made with the ultra premium liqueur Domaine De Canton.  Canton is a handcrafted premium elixir, made in France.   Each small batch of Domaine De Canton is individually produced with all natural ingredients to create the unique taste and character.   Fresh, hand-cut Vietnamese baby ginger, vanilla beans from Tahiti, honey from Provence, organic ginseng and VSOP and Grande Champagne XO Cognacs.  The complex and rich flavor is spicy and sweet with a clean finish.

The Canton Dinner at Jimmy's included 6 unique cocktails created by Domaine De Canton and Jimmy's.  Each drink was unusally tasty and matched with the dishes to enhance the food.  The dinner conceived by Chef Diaz was off-the charts and each course featured Domaine De Canton in the recipe. As the fine meal progressed and the drinks continued to flow, the guests began to lose their inhibitions. The ginger infused drinks served as a catlyst ...almost like a magic potion, that made for a fun and interesting evening. 

AspenSpin is not a foodie...but we love to eat and drink.  So thanks to Jimmy's & Domaine de Canton for a special chef's dinner topped off by the cool, clean taste of Domiane De Canton.

Suerte Tequila is based in Boulder, Colorado but the product is hand-crafted in small batches in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. Suerte is a premium tequila made from 100% pure blue agave and then double distilled.  Founded in March 2012 by Lance Sokol and Laurence Spiewak, Suerte (luck in Spanish) has developed 3 super-smooth varietals, Blanco, Respondo and Anejo. A boutique Colorado brand, Suerte teamed up with the BIG Guns for their fiesta in Aspen... Sabato Sagaria and Carlton McCoy of The Little Nell and Jimmy Yeager owner of Jimmy's.  It was Monday funday at the tequila and taco event at Skier's Chalet.

2 ladies, 3 bottles of Suerte Tequila and a chain saw. Tatsuno in his element. Click 4 pix.Skier's Chalet is a "historic place" in Aspen at the base of lift 1A. Skier's Chalet was formerly a ski condo and a steak joint that thrived in Aspen for more than 50 years.  For the last 10 years developers have been fighting and greed mongering for more F.A.R. and bigger profits. Dirt has yet to move and the wrecking ball is inevitable...but today thanks to Suerte....we party.  Currently the old Skier's Chalet building is a make shift ski bum's commune and a dormitory-like home to some of the rippingest skiers & riders in Aspen.  Hardly fancy... Skier's Chalet is a great spot for a party.

Lance and Laurence supplied the tequila, Jimmy brought his chain saw and his band saw to carve B.F.I.C. (big f-ing ice cubes), The Little Nell brought the tacos...and everyone had a blast.  The room filled up quickly once the bar opened.  Thanks Suerte.  Boa sorte para os meus novos amigos no Suerte Tequila.

Drink responsibly....and stay lucky.   Drink Suerte.

Just a little warm up sesh before X Games.
