We did whiskey yesterday.  How 'bout a tequila shot today?

In my liquor cabinet (such as it is) I have: Patron (silver and anejo),
Herradura (anejo), and
Cazadores.  

I'm looking for Conquistador, but can't seem to find it in my area.

Anybody else drink this swill?

I drink Patron & Quervo.

There's another one I tried when I lived in Phoenix...It had a cactus molded into the interior base of the bottle and was REALLY expensive, but I can't remember the brand.

That didn't help, did it...

I've allways liked the gold stuff. Two Fingers & Cuervo. I am a bit confused however as to what mezcal really is. I allways loved Monte Alban & thought it was tequilla. Still not sure what the difference is.

My standard around the house is Cuervo Reposado. A little more money at $25 per liter, but lots better stuff then the "standard" fare.

What little tequila I drink is almost always Cuervo 1800.

I can't stand some others.  This is as much as I've tried in Margaritas.  Does its job well without making me want to retch.

Shots= Cuervo Gold....

Margaritas= 1800....

Out to get out of my mind= mEzcal AND eat the worm!

A little help por favor....A friend years ago had a green bottle (Looked like Cognac IIRC) I think I was told it was a Tequila, but it tasted like Amaretto, kinda sweet nutty...Warmed the belly when it went down...He borught it back from Mexico...

That stuff WAS GREAT!!!!!!!

Porfidio is the smoothest Tequila I have ever had.  I am sure there are others out there but this is what I am familiar with.

Cuervo and 2-fingers were all I had ever had until I had some Porfidio.  Ended up buying a few bottles.

Damn Glof!
At $450(US dollars?),pricey is an understatement.
If it is $450 Mexican pesos,then it is affordable!I would not want to drink it,if it is that expensive!

Cuervo for 20 is plenty good for me!

You gotta be a chump to pay $450.  [url=http://www.hitimewine.com/spirits_3.htm#tequila]Hi-Times Wine[/url] will send you a bottle for only $299.

LOL.....Real men drink Montezuma. I have been a serious Tequila drinker for lots of years and Montezuma is the best bang for the buck.

Absolute best tequila in the world is Hussong's. It comes in a little brown ceramic bottle shaped like a cartoon bomb. It comes from Hussong's Bar in Rosarita Beach Mexico.

Cuervo for me. Did around 26 shots of it on my  birthday last month and it treated me good.[bday]

Although Montezuma Blue can be had for about $9 a liter so I go that route now and then also.

Herradura Reposada straight, with a G.Killians on the side.

Gave up the salt and lime crap when I grew hair on my chest.  Won't allow that shit in my house with ta'killya. For my weeker friends I'll mix up a batch of sangrita as a chaser.  For the bullshitter who can "drink anything", I make my favorite shooter.  

"Prarie Fire"  Tequila "seasoned" with Tabasco.

Sends 'em home early!

I use it in cooking, but the cheaper stuff works fine for that.

I like the JC, but the smoothest I have tried was TARANTULA AZUL, it is blue and yummy

I forgot, whatever you do DO NOT drink Dos Trios tequilla. That is quite possibly the grossest stuff i've ever drank. It tastes and smells like fingernail polish remover.

I dropped by my local liquor/wine store (Debb's in Beaumont) looking to replenish my depleted supplies of Rebel Yell and Wild Turkey 101 when what did I see but Herradura Selection Suprema at $249.99, in a fancy hinged case and everything.  (I found the Conquistador I was looking for too.)

Well, I bought it.  And one of these days I'm going to try it.  And it'll be with a cute, impressable tequila affectianada.  It had better work.

If it doesn't, I coming after you, Gloftoe.

My sister went to Mexico, and we wanted some tequila, but didn't know what to get. Just happened to work with a guy from mexico. His advice:

--Nothing that says Cuervo ("Is SHIT").

--Single distilled

--Tequila doesn't have a worm (that's mezcal--someone asked earlier).

We ended up with Don Julio, which was pretty damn good. 145 pesos, or about $45. As the guy told us "Average wages in Mexico about 8-900 pesos a week. Not many people drinking that kind of tequila there."

I also like Sauza Hornitos, which is a bit more reasonable on price. Never tried any insanely expensive stuff.
