I got a bottle of Patron Anejo (Aged) as a gift and I'd really like to enjoy this instead of taking shots or making margaritas since it's a pretty expensive (and supposedly very good) bottle. does anyone here know much about tequila or enjoy tequila that could help me enjoy this bottle?? thanks :)

    I love Patron, unfortunately I enjoy the shots :o

    I generally don't like tequila cocktails, but I like the shots.

    enjoying tequila for dummies v2.1

    ingredients - tequila, salt, lemon


    1. take shot glass
    2. fill with tequila
    3. cut a lemon into wedges (as the enjoyment progresses probably a good idea to remove the seeds)
    4. sprinkle some salt on the back of your hand
    5. lick the salt off
    6. tip the shot of tequila down your throat (might burn a bit on the first shot, but this goes away as the night goes on)
    7. suck the lemon

    aahhh - enjoy



    NOTE!!!! - its a good idea to do this in a street level room - staircases tend to become a problem a bit later on ;)

    There is no way to "enjoy" tequila. Best you can do is drink and shudder. :p

    The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever. Because this is just a ride." And we...kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok? But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.

    it's like drinking a campfire!

    the first time i overdid it with mezcal it hit me hard and fast. i chugged a bunch of it at a friends before going out to the bar, waited a few minutes, and before we left i got an onion from the kitchen and started to eat it like an apple....last time i had mezcal

    And yeah, straight up shots is the way to enjoy good tequila, imo.
  • Patron is so smooth you can drink it right on the rocks, seriously. Or shots. But the stuff is amazing. Unlike Jose' it doesn't give me the toilet shivers. You'll enjoy it. It's tasty on it's own! But be careful, shit packs a punch! Last time I got into it was in Toronto and my best bud and I picked up a bottle of Patron Silver at the border. We drank the whole thing the two of us (granted we also drank beers and had a few shots of Jager) but I was hungover for 2 days.

    I agree: shots are the only way to drink tekillya. If you need the training wheels (salt, lemon) so be it.

    Maybe I'm getting older but I just can't drink that stuff anymore.....especially mezcal. Petron is smooth.

    chill it and sip strait up-if its too strong for you ad ONE small ice cube
    to use salt, lemon or lime with 100% agave tequilia, especially anjeo, is just wrong IMHO

    In mass doses.

    I was hanging out with this crazy Aussie once and he ordered a shot of tequila with the salt and lime wedge but he took it down a little different than I had ever seen before. He threw down the shot first, then snorted the salt, and then squeezed lime juice into his eye! WTF???

    drinking it?
    You've clearly never had tequila.


    The correct answer is, put the bottle away and never touch it again.

    Neat is probably the best to enjoy the flavor. A couple ice cubes will water it down a bit.

    I would try it neat and room temp to start out. Chilling it takes the edge off.

  • try to enjoy it various ways ...

    start your day with a bloody maria ... then some afternoon margaritas .... and finish with some shots before a mexican dinner.

    What he said. Sip it chilled. Good tequila requires no training wheels (salt, lime). Take your time to enjoy it, and make that bottle last, because it may become habit forming. Unfortunately most of us can't afford a $50 a bottle habit.

    Enjoy!
