Tequila!

[acharpe-cl]

In honor of Cinco de Mayo, I decided to give tequila another try. Eight years ago, I celebrated my 20th birthday in Cambridge, England, while I was a student there for a semester abroad. The first place we went offered eight free pints of beer. My friends decided I should have them all for myself. Feeling pretty good after the couple of hours there, we went to another place. This place offered eight shots of tequila for those celebrating a birthday. You can imagine that it wasn't premium tequila they were offering. I drank those too. As you can imagine, this was not the best idea I ever had. Ever since then, I have not had tequila. It took a couple of years before I could even smell a margarita without getting nauseous, and I've not had it since.

On Friday, I bought a bottle of Don Eduardo Anejo Tequila. This stuff does not smell like the cheap stuff you are likely to see at a bar to go with salt and lime. It is extremely smooth and has quite a few flavors going on. I tasted a hint of peanuts as I was drinking it, and it has a bit of a peppery aftertaste. Definitely easy to drink. So I wouldn't have to wait eight more years, I only had a couple of glasses, but I will definitely be having more. Not sure how it will pair with cigars, but I think with a mild to medium stick, it will work pretty well.

Any other tequila drinkers out there? If so, what do you recommend?

I don't drink it often, but when I do I like Patron Anejo or don Julio. I prefer dark liquors.

I prefer to watch people drink tequlia rather than drink it. What is it with that stuff??

I had a little Milagro Reposado Select Barrel a few weeks ago...It was prolly the best I've ever drank. My experence with tequlia is limited so I may be way off on my recomendation.

Tequila is one of the few drinks I do drink. I make sure I am not going to be driving so it is mostly when I go to Vegas.

I like :

Patron Silver Chilled
Jose Cuervo Gold at Room Temperature

If you you really wan to test your luck try mescal with is the cheap unrefined form of tequila. Visions will come from that.

Well I was at a wedding last night and of course it was one of our tailgate buddies...www.swamptailgators.com. Well all of our tailgating buddies were there and needlesstosay, especially if you know us, well we did shots all night long and about half of them were Tequilla. and in honor of Stogie...Patron Silver Chilled. Man it was smooth and went down nice and easy. We all had about 5 or so of those and about another half dozen of other garbage. Good news had plenty of Mic Light to wash it all down...

Tequila is my favorites spirit, and the flavor profiles are as varied as the names that I can't spell.

Corazon
Padron, Silver & Reposado

I have tried Cabo Wabo (blue bottle) I really did'nt care for it I think it's kind off overated. Although I haven't tried the rest of the line.

Tequila is the devil's water. Especially Patron.

How do I know this? Because it's my favorite to drink, but the bf has barred me from ever touching it again. Only the devil would make such a thing.
