OT: Good Tequila...an oxymoron? (No, try the good stuff)

Patron. Absolutely. Jeff N.

I tried some Leyenda del Milagro, 100% De Agave, Silver last night. Not at all like the kerosene that I tried the first time around. Very smooth and mellow. I don't know where it stands in the grand scheme of 100% Agave Tequila's, but it was darn good.

A friend of ours runs a mexican restaurant and owns an agave farm back home in mexico.

Here are just some that he turned us on to. There are literally hundreds to chose from.

Herradura Silver (excellent smooth flavorful clean taste: neat or in a margarita)

Espalon (like Herradura Silver)

Gran Centenario Anejo
(aged in oak for sipping)

Chamugas (served neat - hard to find -- too much could make you a little crazy)

"the 50+ year old cashier, a women trying to dress like she was 18 with the black chocker, tight jeans, studded black belt, black 80's hair band do, was wearing a white Cuervo T-shirt that was way to small and showing a midriff with belly piercing that no customer should be forced to look at.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT TEQUILA?

Are there any good tasting brands out there?"


I would have to go with the good taste of the cashier. You've got me excited. I'm going to the liquor store right now! Not to buy tequila, but in hope of seeing the 50+ cashier. It does'nt take much to get me excited.

Thanks for the tip.

O. K., Texas Boy here.....Get you some Sauza Commerativo Anejo Tequila....some Cointreau......mix equal parts in a shaker of ice....squeeze in half a lime....shake...pour into a chilled martini glass with a jalapeno olive and two other pimento stuffed olives.....after two of these you'll love on anybody, almost.....I'm married.

I'm doing a full-blown comparison test. Report to follow.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

my favorite patron is this one


it's a mixture of kahlua and tequila, tastes a lot better than it sounds. great as a sipper on the rocks.

If it's not Anejo, I'm not drinkin' it.

I concur, Dave.

Cabo Wabo has the best Van Halen cover band on the planet.

Cheap margs and hot hot women.

Never bought the bottled stuff.

Nice one on the Reidels! Love my Reidel bordeaux and chablis glasses.
