Current Events > Tequila is the most misunderstood substance

(+) Yeah! (+)

Too many dumbasses get absolutely pissed at a shitty divebar and order shots of tequila.... but all these shitty bars will serve people mixto tequila which is essentially 51% agave and the rest is random shit to meet guidelines to be called tequila. This is what gives people a bad hangover and gives tequila a bad name.
Tequila should be 100% agave; shouldn't be diffuser; and shouldn't be served with lime and salt.
Examples of good tequila are El Tesoro, Forteleza, Siete Leguas, Cascahuin, Ocho, Don Fulano....
Avoid brands like Casamigos, Patron, Don Julio and Clase Azul. They're all overpriced, mass produced and aren't good representations of tequila.

Okay

bad name? cheap tequila shots is my favourite past time on a night out

I'm a whiskey man myself, I don't like shots of tequila but I do like margaritas

If youre a whiskey man you really should explore mezcal. Tequila is essentially a mezcal. Mezcal can be multiple varieties of agave, multiple regions if mexico and the aging all takes place in the ground.
It seriously blows me away that some agaves can take 15 years to grow and mature.
