A few years ago i was introduced to Don Julio Reposada and it changed my attitude. I sip the Don Julio and use lesser tequilas for margs.....
Don Julio has replaced my last favourite, Jamison's Irish whiskey.... |
UDO, this is Ged. |
Woody,
Got that pic of my tailgate bar at your BoLA casa?
Recipe:
1) Get one of them thar tall Mexican shooter glasses (2 oz ?)
2) Get a glass, cup , or clean tin can of some sort...
3) Find a bit of ice (no, not the wall scrapings from your RV freezer ....unless that's all ya got) and place in container of choice...
4) Pour tequila of choice to top of shooter glass and CAREFULLY pour into glass
5) Duplicate this procedure with Mexican Cointreau (the diesel version of the French liqueur)
6) Squeeze 2-3 Mexican limes into glass w/ salted rim (except in case of clean tin can as rough edge of can might ruin your kisser....
7) Imbibe
8) Add a splash of squirt/7-Up if c-cktail isn't sweet enough for your delicate palate ...or just more Cointreau...
8) Repeat as often as necessary or possible.....
Don't believe everything you think....

I'm a Puerto Rican who doesn't care for Rum, which is supposed to be my preferred adult beverage. I'm a big fan of hoppy beers, tart wines (e.g.
Sauvignon Blanc) and tequila. Go figure.

While I slap my elbow I will point out that $82 CDN is only about four bucks.

I think you mean $82 Mexican pesos is about $4.00 USD.
$82.00 Canadian dollars is almost $61.00 US dollars.

Udo,
I believe he is making a broma regarding the low value of the Loonie...

Thanks Goat for an interesting analysis. Friends who enjoy tequila say similar things.
As to tequila requiring a sophisticated palate, while there may be some truth to that....the same can be said for Haggis.

Right now I am sipping some Don Julio 1942.
I deserve it after a great meal at a Venezuelan restaurant called Mil Jugos, in Santa Ana, CA.
The areas and drinks were just as I remember them!

I think, IMHO, that to suggest the "Best" of anything in wines or liquors is presumptious...(sp) Different "bests" for different persons. I would like
to suggest the WORST, again my opinion, is some swill labeled "El Compadre". It may be good for curing athletes foot, but is not fit for consumption
by humans....

absolutely, regardless of what the bajablowhards will want you to believe, its all about what YOU like isn't it?
interestingly enough (at least in this part of baja) el compadre is the house tequila at most bars and restaurants, 100% agave it's fine in a $2
margie, different strokes I suppose!

How about the Rattlesnake Tequila at the Baja Mar in San Felipe. I was going to try it but a friend of mine stopped me and said it is the worst
tasting thing ever.

Did you read this article? If you did, why the misleading subject line?
''At least for the time being he is content with labeling Dos Volcanes as “spirits distilled from blue agave,”..... because he cannot legally call
his product ''tequila.''
Yeah there are some who think margs taste fine with bottled mixes or simple syrup. These yahoos think Andre Cold Duck is a fine champagne.
Funny thread.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.
