Although tequila cocktails can be found across the globe, “real” tequila is only allowed to be produced in certain parts of Mexico. Not surprisingly, most of it hails from (or near) the city of Tequila, located in the state of Jalisco in western Mexico, where the area’s unique red volcanic soil is ideal for growing the agave plant, which is always harvested by hand.

Pep Katcher, president and co-founder of CRUZ tequila explains: “The margarita is still the number one cocktail in the United States, but there are hundreds of recipes which can make up the cocktail. The best and most popular combinations of tequila cocktails include using fresh fruits or vegetables, spices, custom sea salts and even flavored ice to add a refreshing twist to a common cocktail. The increased tequila knowledge of the American consumer has helped drive thirst, but it’s the mixology that has that has been key to tequila’s growth. Without the creation of quality cocktails by mixologists, tequila would not have the popularity it’s experiencing today.”

“There are always people who seek to take advantage of our community. It’s definitely something that we intend to tackle,” says Edgar Aguilar, program manager. He stresses that those seeking to enroll should know that they should never be charged any fee for assistance and that enrollment counselors are not allowed to ask for any financial information, such as credit card numbers or bank numbers,

Aguilar says that another challenge is educating mixed-status families. “A big fear is something called ‘public charge.’ Somebody can be deemed ‘public charge’ if they access public services and it affects them negatively in status adjustment. Word of mouth is powerful among the Latino community,” he says. “Our job is to clear this up and clear up misconceptions.”

In Kern County, California, the Community Health Initiative aims to educate Latinos on the new health care exchanges by partnering with various family resource centers where community members are already seeking help. The organization trains Certified Enrollment Counselors to help families through the application process by explaining their options and gathering required documentation. They also hope to address any confusion regarding the new law and prepare for any possible scams.
