In this month’s edition of Living Proof, I explore the wonderful world of tequila! and no, I’m not using the word “wonderful” facetiously. Tequila can actually be a damn tasty beverage; it only has a bad rap because most people’s experience with the liquor involves being at a noisy club and choking down several shots of cheap gasoline being masqueraded as legitimate booze.
a classic margarita - none of that "lime slushie with booze" junk
It is totally worth it to redeem tequila for yourself. Invest in a good bottle of blanco and whip up some yummy margaritas or tequila sunrises (both recipes can be found at the bottom of the article). Or, spoil yourself and buy a top shelf añejo to enjoy all on its own. You’ll need to spend around forty or fifty bucks for a good blanco, and probably at least sixty for a good añejo. And for god’s sake, only buy tequila that’s made from 100% blue agave – look for the words “100% Agave” on the label. (Or “100% de agave”, the nearly-identical Spanish translation.)
Great cocktail which tastes very nice. Its good to see information on cocktail making that is very easy to follow. I have been organising cocktail making parties for years now in venues throughout the UK trying to educate people that alcohol isn’t just cheap beer and spirits.
If people know how to make quality drinks then they won’t drink them as fast solving the current drinking issues in the UK.
