Tequila...... You Tawdry Little Tramp

Tequila Ocho best I’ve ever had

$140 a bottle.  

^Nice! I tried something called Apocalypto at a tequila bar in Boston. That was the best tequila I've ever had. No salt or lime needed for the shot. Nice, smooth and surprisingly oaky. Smooth almost like a bourbon.

My favorite tequila drink right now is the "fuego margarita" that seems to be popping up at some of the finer restaurants around here. Jalapeno pepper infused tequila with some fresh muddled lime juice, some sort of herb like mint and whatever the Hell else they decide put in them. A little sweet, a touch of sour, salty, FIERY and whole lotta naughty!  (Just don't order the ones made with pickled jalapenos - blehhh! Totally ruins the flavor. I like pickled stuff, but just doesn't belong in this drink.)

Tequila is my really baddd n rowdy best friend that is dangerously fun! She always seems to get away with things and when I'm with her I think that I can too.

Haha!  Could be but I wouldn't know.  I'm the luckiest damn drunk on earth because I have an instant shut off valve.  What happens is this:  now days, when I drink, I fairly quickly (a couple of drinks tops) start to get head spins and then can't drink any more.  So a finger or two of Cuervo Gold will last me at least a couple of hours of slow sipping.  The same effect is what got me to stop smoking cigarettes- I got to a point back in the mid eighties where just a couple of drags off a cigarette made me very uncomfortably dizzy with head spins.  It's a weird self-limiting feature of my brain that I seemed to have developed, which is fine, although it was fun getting totally wasted when I was young.  Now, it's just a little wine or tequila, a little green, and I'm good to go!

I wish that would happen to me. How old do I have to get?

Fuckin' old, Rob, fu-kin-old! 

Haha, not not really,  If I remember correctly, I think this started when I was around 50. 

hell, that's a few years off.

How do you guys drink tequila?  maybe I'll give it another shot (no pun intended).

I only do shots when I want to get in trouble. Frozen in salt shot glasses is delicious. When I don’t want to get in trouble I drink margaritas. 

And you call yourself a Marine.

He sips them and worries about getting roofied. :giggle:

From the freezer.  (An absolute must)
In salt shot glasses.  No lime needed.

freezer huh?  I never thought of that since I imagine tequila usually being drunk in the tropics.
