Let's talk about Tequila.

So, my new love is tequila. It makes me very happy and always provides a very happy buzz, but admittedly I am but a novice when it comes to tequila knowledge. I enjoy a good margarita as much as the next person, but last night I discovered the joy of drinking shots of decent tequila (Cazadores), which is how, as I understand it, tequila is meant to be enjoyed. I want to try El Tesoro next, because I've heard nothing but good things about it.

What's your favorite kind of tequila? Do you have any good stories about adventures had after enjoying some tequila?

Oooh. Lets not. Had bad experiences with tequila in HS.

Theres a huge fan base of 'sipping tequila' here in SA. THe good stuff isnt taken in a shot, but sipped.

Couldnt tell ya anything else about it tho.

Its all about Jose Cuervo.

Most tequlia's will make me sick. But Jose seems to go down smoother than most. Although Jimmy Buffet's tequila is pretty good too...only not 8 shots of it

Big difference between tequila and mezcal (sometimes spelled mescal) - while they are distilled from the same agave plant, tequila's name is a 'controlled origin' name; only agave plants grown in the Tequila region near Guadalajara can be used in tequila production. Mezcal has a coarser taste than tequila, and Monte Alban's pickled gusano (worm) is nothing more than a gimmick.

Excellent site on tequila and mezcal: http://www.ianchadwick.com/tequila/

Here's my favorite tequila adventure: I was at a party. I had just broken up with my boyfriend, so I was kind of grumpy with men in general. Nevertheless, the cutie bartender at the party was making up for it and providing me with free shots all night. I told him I would drink anything except tequila (bad experiences previously), so he hooked me up with free vodka, et cetera . . .

To make a long story short, they ran out of everything except tequila, so this (very cute but very drunk) bartender decided that he could sneak the tequila by me in order to get me drunker by pouring ROOT BEER over it and disguising it. I don't know what I was thinking -- I was waaasted -- but I downed a shot of root beer-tinged tequila. There was no time for me to prepare for the reaction and three seconds later I was puking in the corner of their living room.

Needless to say, neither the cute bartender nor I got anything that night.

Okay, maybe that wasn't the kind of tequila story you wanted, but that's all I got. Tequila + Heather = not friends.

The four stages of tequila:

1. I'm rich.
2. I'm good-looking.
3. I'm bulletproof.
4. I'm invisible.

One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor!

I've never gotten a buzz off of Tequila. I feel nothing and then - boom - I'm wasted.

Oh, it's Sunday morning and the sun is shining,
In my eye that is open, and my head is spinning.
Was the life of the party; I can't stop grinning,
I had too much Tequila last night.

Jose Cuervo, you are a friend of mine.
I like to drink you with a little salt and lime.
Did I kiss all the cowboys?
Did I shoot out the lights?
Did I dance on the bar?
Did I start any fights?

Now wait a minute, things don't look too familiar,
And who is this cowboy who's sleepin' beside me?
Well, he's awful cute, but how'd I get his shirt on?

Instrumental break.

Oh, those little shooters, how I love to drink them down.
C'mon, bartender, let's have another round.
Well the music's playing and my spirits are high.
Tomorrow might be painful, but tonight we're gonna fly.

Jose Cuervo, you are a friend of mine.
I like to drink you with a little salt and lime.
Every time we get together, I sure have good time.
You're my friend, you're the best, mi amigo.

Tequila and I don't mix. I don't really even like margaritas unless they're well-mixed or heavily flavored.

Although I'm not big on taking shots in general, a tequila shot every now and then is fun. And I drink margaritas almost everywhere I go... mmm tequila.

My ex-boyfriend calls tequila "te-kill-ya."

All of the off-campus houses at my school have names (for example, I live in "AA").

My diamond sister (little) lives in "Looks Te-quil-ya."

True That.

Remember:

Te-kill-ya can make You Sleazy!

Used go to a bar where a bunch of hung out after work. Each Night was a different Hinky Dinky (Drink of shots). WOW that Mexican stuff would become DEADLY!

Whoa Nellie, replacing tires from bouncing off of curbs gets expensive.

Tequila hates me, too. And I hate spending the night hugging the toilet bowl, so I don't drink it.
