I took the liberty of searching the forum and not one thread dedicated to Superb Tequila. That is about to change, forever...

You all know me by now, well, most of your anyway. This is a lightweight subject, time for a little fun.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2S4G52rtMM&feature=related" Awesome artist and music, IMHO of course.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jd9XD5Dj2d8&feature=related" Agave comes from the city of Tequila, go figure...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVKsd8z6scw&feature=related" Paul Reubens matches his dim wits with bikers...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GIeCpTZKMs" Incredible artwork in the bottle and stopper...

1.5 Million Dollar Tequila Bottle
Too much bling for me...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdTXn5_LvO8&feature=related" I welcome California PFer's of legal age to check this place out, and... report back your experiences... the food looks awesome as well.

I have a confession, well sort of, maybe not, maybe half a confession then, that will have to do.

  • I enjoy "turning down the volume on the left side of my brain" and letting the intuitive, creative, non-verbal side get a smooth shot (pun intended). This is the only (legal) thing that does it for me.
  • I rarely if ever get a hangover.
  • I never have gotten sick from it, well that's not really true. I have from drinking crappy stuff with the worm that tastes more like low grade gasoline, long long ago.
  • I mixed some ghost pepper extract droplets in it (yeah Rhody is nuts, lol), and noticed no change in taste, perhaps the tequila neutralized it, maybe someone can address the chemical aspects, I was surprised. The droplets hung suspended, which I found a little weird.
  • I have had fairly good tequila (less than 100$ per bottle, and less than 5 or 6 brands), prefer smooth with little or no aftertaste.
  • Want to know your favorite Tequila for sipping.
  • What is your favorite mixed drink, looking for the offbeat, the unusual, that special occasion, with rare ingredients.
  • I do not drive motorcycles or cages (car's) after drinking, ever.
Rhody...

P.S. Links to exquisite Tequila artwork and artwork videos, and personal experiences welcomed.

I can't justify that! I thought that I was wandering into the (extensive) wilderness with forays into old single-malt scotch. That might take decades. Tequila? Not so much... (Sorry Rhody! It might be genetic.)

If you haven't tried this yet, give this a shot (yeah, groan, etc.): it's a very simple layered shot (don't be lazy - use a spoon and get it right) with a half Tequila over a half Kahlua. It's particularly effective when all you've got is not a fancy Tequila. The Kahlua follows the Tequila down your mouth and masks the after-taste. For the average person, you don't feel anything for the first few shots - and it's terribly easy to drink - and then you get hit by a sledgehammer. The shot shall remain unnamed in order to respect the PF profanity filter.
 
Tequila w/Tackle Football

Not a mixed drink, but a very ugly story and the reason I stopped drinking tequila.
 
Speaking of drinking and games, here's a drinking game that works well with Tequila shots (needs 3 or more participants):

Player A proposes a number (say, a 3-digit number) and an accuracy (between 0.1% error and 10% error). Players B, C, ...etc compete with each other to estimate the logarithm (to base 10) of the proposed number. If the first audible estimate is within the allowed margin of error, the guesser wins that round, and other players (not including player A) must take a shot. If the estimate is outside the margin, the guesser must take two shots.

Player B proposes a number and error bar for the next round, ... and so on.

Variants: Square and cube roots, powers, natural logarithms, ...

I like a good reposado, or a tequila sunrise with fresh OJ. Otherwise, I don't have much use for tequila.

I just discovered this, http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/04/30/2009-04-30_drink_up_justin_timberlakes_901_tequilas_the_real_deal.html", a Tequila connoisseur ? Who could have guessed ?

BTW I had a couple Margaritas's in a local eatery last night (with Silver Patron), and had trouble sleeping, up every two hours...

Gokul,

I shy away from really sweet liquor mixes, in this case Kahlua mixed with Tequila, can you say, massive headache from the excess sugar rush, hehe. The Agave is really sweet to begin with, (before being made into Tequila that is).

Anybody got a sour mix combo to try ?

I think a good tequila would be wasted on me. I imagine slamming isn't probably the best way to appreciate it. I like the song 'Tequila', too.

Slamming tequila is an excellent way to buy yourself a hangover, so definitely not 'slammin' good, you are correct.

Let's be honest. Ta-kil-ya tastes NaStY. You want good ta-kil-ya? The high-priced ta-kil-ya tastes like water mixed with 40% pure alcohol mixed in the lab. I suggest a double-blind taste test would prove my conjecture.

Phrak,

I appreciate your honesty, I must admit after trying it when younger it tasted precisely as you describe, NaStY, but I was fortunate or lucky enough somewhere along the way to get a taste of the good stuff, combine that with the way I described in my first post of dimming down the left side of my brain makes you feel, no other alcoholic beverage beverage does that. That is what keeps me coming back for more in search of the smoothest stuff (that a reasonable person can afford).

I have tried a double blind taste test. For me I could still tell the good from the rot gut stuff after 3 or 4 shots.

Same here... as soon as we're talking about aged tequila you have the introduction of congeners, thus color and flavor. For the clear stuff... yeah, it might as well be mildly flavored vodka. A good reposado really has a flavor, but the modern taste has been to flee from the burn of rot-gut to something sterile.

Alright, I'll try the nicer type next time the opportunity presents itself, despite Phrak's dislaimer! I hadn't really associated drinking tequila with savouring the taste/effects.

fuzzy,

Trust me, if the right setting presents itself, say a pleasant day on the water, sitting on the back of friend's boat with friends, the sun going down, then, someone breaks out their cherished bottle of smooth tequila amid lots of laughter and the right mood a good sipping tequila helps make the day memorable, you might just change your mind.

From another thread, Fuzzy says,
Regarding the tequila thread, the weather here has improved enough to be messing around :eek: in boats, so that might not take too long.
Fuzzy,

As Nismara has said and I agree, the smoothest tequila is Anejo, sort of amber color and aged 1 to 3 years. I was skiing with a couple of friends a few days ago, and we each had a shot, chilled in ice for about a minute or so. The chilling cuts the intensity, because a bit of water mixes with it, and it was so smooth it was unbelievable. I got a bottle of Anejo Patron for Christmas and at room temperature it is very smooth without icing.

Here is what I recommend. Get a good bottle of Anejo, they make super aged Anejo, however, I have never had it, it is supposedly aged for more than 3 years, somewhere in the range of 5 to 10. That I would like to try. Have your host put a shot in ice for about a minute, then pour into a shot glass, and sip.

I think you will be amazed, repeat this cycle once every ten minutes for four cycles, and at the end of the hour report back. Believe it or not the blue Agave in the cactus is very very sweet, so if you drink too much I guarantee a nice headache. In moderation you will escape this side effect. The effects are quite nice, at least for me. I have no problem with the taste, in fact I prefer not to eat anything while drinking it. But that's just me.

Rhody... :wink:

P.S. One side effect that appears to be universal if you drink late in the evening, your sleep cycle will include some of the most vivid amazing dreams you have ever had, we (my two friends and myself) all had this experience and I can say that the dreams are "interesting" to say the least. So be prepared. hehe.

Anyone who has had a similar dream experience, please report as well.

Trust me Turbo, if and when you do, there will be no turning back. I am serious. BTW, should be wrapping up the bike by Saturday, with the crappy road conditions, they will delivery it to my house in a covered trailer. Gave the salesman my extra copy of Isle of Mann 2010 in Blu Ray, it is simply awesome. I think he liked it.

I'm excited about your bike. Not as much as you, obviously, but I am so glad for you. My speed-machines have generally been straight-line performers since I gave up the Japanese bikes in 1985. I must admit that I had a gap in bike-ownership for about a year, there, and my friend Rod who owned a Ducati dealership nearly had me locked into a Monster before I turned back to Harleys. Stripped, pipe frame, Desmo valve actuation with no float...I was really tempted. My wife was pretty comfortable with cruisers by that point and for domestic tranquility it was best to stay with cruisers.

Fuzzy,

I must have missed: "THE RIVER BANK" in my travels, interesting story, however:
Then the two animals stood and regarded each other cautiously.

`Hullo, Mole!' said the Water Rat.

`Hullo, Rat!' said the Mole.

`Would you like to come over?' enquired the Rat presently.

`Oh, its all very well to TALK,' said the Mole, rather pettishly, he being new to a river and riverside life and its ways.

The Rat said nothing, but stooped and unfastened a rope and hauled on it; then lightly stepped into a little boat which the Mole had not observed. It was painted blue outside and white within, and was just the size for two animals; and the Mole's whole heart went out to it at once, even though he did not yet fully understand its uses.

The Rat sculled smartly across and made fast. Then he held up his forepaw as the Mole stepped gingerly down. `Lean on that!' he said. `Now then, step lively!' and the Mole to his surprise and rapture found himself actually seated in the stern of a real boat.

`This has been a wonderful day!' said he, as the Rat shoved off and took to the sculls again. `Do you know, I`ve never been in a boat before in all my life.'

`What?' cried the Rat, open-mouthed: `Never been in a--you never--well I--what have you been doing, then?'

`Is it so nice as all that?' asked the Mole shyly, though he was quite prepared to believe it as he leant back in his seat and surveyed the cushions, the oars, the rowlocks, and all the fascinating fittings, and felt the boat sway lightly under him.

`Nice? It's the ONLY thing,' said the Water Rat solemnly, as he leant forward for his stroke. `Believe me, my young friend, there is NOTHING--absolute nothing--half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. Simply messing,' he went on dreamily: `messing--about--in--boats; messing----'

`Look ahead, Rat!' cried the Mole suddenly.

It was too late. The boat struck the bank full tilt. The dreamer, the joyous oarsman, lay on his back at the bottom of the boat, his heels in the air.

The imagery just kills me, lol. Just make sure you chill the Anejo Fuzzy, I know you will be pleasantly surprised.

Sorry Evo,

I usually keep a bottle of this stuff at least six months or so. My next goal is to get the extra aged Anejo if I can find it at a reasonable price. Why don't you organize a mentor's tasting party where everyone brings either a very exotic dish, or their prized bottle of aged tequila, and have a taste contest, that way you will get to sample the best of the best with all of your buddies.

Rhody...

I bought a bottle of Hornitos, Anejo, came home, poured a small sample, put the same sized same in the freezer, to be followed by the same amount (at room temperature) of Patron, Anejo.

Verdict, the Patron has it heads and shoulders above the Hornitos, even when separating the tasting by fifteen minutes between each sample. The good news, I think if I were to take the same almost frozen sample of Hornitos and put an ice cube in it a minute before the taste test. I may not be able to tell the difference, except for the overshadowing taste.

Rhody...

P.S. Maybe after my track day this June if I make it back in one piece I will celebrate by buying a bottle of expensive, 100+ dollar bottle of Anejo to celebrate. That moment will be one to remember. If I do I will report on the Patron vs expensive stuff in comparison.

You have quite literally ensured that I will never willingly consume Hornitos tequila! You can freeze horse dung (literally again) and work with it a bit... if it's cold enough you only get the aftertaste. Oh, and no, not from this prank being played on me, or me on another... not safe at all. Still, I was an observer...

Oh boy... yeah. Technically however it was Mezcal, not tequila. Let's just say that I didn't drink ANYTHING for about 2 years after that one night. I wasn't more drunk, but whatever I was drinking must have been fermented motor oil with congeners for flavor. I woke up with one of only 2 hangovers I've had in my life, and I wanted to DIE.

Actually, I believe I said, "I don't want to die, but if I have to, now would be a good time."

I'd go into details, but I just got back to PF... which should tell you all that you need to know; all orifices were involved... possibly even my ears (bloos... grey matter...).

It took even longer before I could smell tequila without retching, and now... yum. Tequila is just one of those drinks that's so often sold as a cheap product that it got a bad name. Really, it's a wonderful sipping drink at any temp, and the Tequila Sunrise... mmmmmm.

Rhody...

:smile: Yeah, I'm sure it's good at de-greasing too. Thanks for the sympathy, but I did learn that lesson and I was a moderate drinker before, and just so now. I'm happy to get tipsy, but it takes a LOOOT to get me drunk, and I just don't care to drink that much. Sipping a great tequila with those soft woods notes under the spice... it's really worth the hard lesson.

Believe it or not, I have a friend who likes regular uber-cheap Cuervo Mezcal... he's a little insane. :-p He does however, sometimes roast whole hogs and do clam-bakes, so if he wants to drink a molotov cocktail without the rag... go for it.

The only other time I ran into trouble was the first time my very good friend from childhood introduced me (I think I was 20-something) to really GOOD Bourbon whiskey. I think it was Woodford Reserve, but unfortunately we went a BIT overboard. Once the Woodford was gone, a particular dishonest grocer sold our stumbling butts Maker's Mark (which really isn't bad bourbon). It was a blast, and the I fell asleep in my nice easy chair.

----

I woke up GLUED to the chair, every nerve screaming, and my head pounding. Still, that faded within hours and some hydration/salt... that "tequila" experience ruined me for a day, and I felt it for longer. I'm fairly sure the last thing I heard that night was the shrieking of my brain cells dying.

Now... I'm a sipper of the hard stuff, or I genuinely like classic beach drinks like Hemingway's Daiquiri (no frozen junk). A truly good Mojito, especially with that amazing 10-Cane rum (made from the sugar, not the molasses) works as well. Tequila for me, is almost like coca cola in its appeal: "burn and bite" with a smooth transition of flavors.

Oh... and there was one time in Greece with some relatives... uh... and there was (I think) un-watered Ouzo, then Retsina... I don't remember much of that. Nothing will kill you faster than relatives who all want to have a drink with you... each one... a full shot. Oopa. *dies*.

That said, I like Ouzo with lamb, and reduced it's amazing. I'd suggest reducing a nice Anejo Tequila and using it in a salad dressing with a nice strong vinegar and a nutty/fruity olive oil. It's AMAZING, and goes beautifully with bitter greens.

Sorry, I've gone far afield, but cooking with tequila is AWESOME; just for the love of god do not use anything less than Patron or better. Reduction = concentration of flavor, good or bad. I also have to say, in place of a cap-full of vodka in tomato sauce, if you're making an arrabiata tequila will add a second kind of flavor and a bit of spice behind the chilis.
 
  • #44
I would just say, there IS good mezcal, but you have to work a little to find it, and frankly I prefer the smoother tequila.

nismara,

Funny, I was looking up "arrabiata tequila" in google after reading your last post, and guess where it took me, see the http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sugexp...=arrabiata+tequila&pbx=1&fp=a5e9728ef75bcd44". The first link at the top is YOUR post !

How does google index it that fast ??!

Rhody... :bugeye:

Wow... I guess PF is rapidly updated... makes sense given its singular nature. Still... wow. I only thought of the tequila arrabiata based on a junky recipe from Uno's. I figured it would do better with tomatos, where the alcohol can liberate flavors, and the congeners can add body and flavor. Still, a shot of vodka works... just have to cook it all out.

Oh, and of course if you want something REALLY rich, use a bit of wine or sherry.

Fuzzy,

I was just punking you and I hope you know that. I am glad you enjoyed it because the brain stimulation effects and after effects you get from tequila are unique. The best way I can describe it is that you get a sense of well being, a oneness that transcends language. I suspect that the cross talk between sections of the brain especially the left language processing side in all except for 15% of population is somehow subdued, the noisey bother with me with details side is dimmed and the creative, appreciation of the whole (right) side can fully emerge, and does so under the influence of tequila. I don't know how it works and have searched for quite some time for the scientific properties that lead to the effects I have just described. If anyone following this thread has access to reliable data, please post it here. Thanks...

Rhody...
