Favorite Tequila

[soundmotor]

Please note your favorite if not listed.

[grumpy]

Mezcal is my fav but i have thrown back a cuervo 1800 or two. Patron is good too.

[tentoze]

Let me go look in the freezer before I answer...

[Strangeband]

Last time I tangled with tequila, not sure of the brand, I found I had become invisible to my friends who kept asking where I had gone. I do recall hearing Live Cream Vol. II. Don Julio it was, I think.

[onepixel]

Herradura Añejo, very smooth...

For something with a kick, Gusano Rojo Mescal with the worm floating around...itstokillya.

[Matt]

Cava Antigua Reposado
Jose Cuervo de la Familia

A little pricey but well worth it.

[Nick_the_'Nole]

Corralejo Añejo is my choice for sipping and the occasional shot, though it doesn't do to well in mixes or large quantites, so Sauza Gold goes into the margaritas and general rowdy drunkenness...

[whyaskit]

Patron Anejo

edit - Corazon de Agave Blanco
very different but good :yes:

[bellavoce]

Still trying to determine a favorite,until then well... pass the bottle.

Gad, i can still remember the smell of Pine Sol in the morning waking up in a Mexican border town night club when they were cleaning up from the night before. That was over 35 years ago and i swear i remember it every time i have a shot'a gold.

[Army]

Tres Generations or Patron, don't need any training wheels for either, smooth very smooth :thmbsp:

[Russellc]

Tres generations anejo or silver, El Tesoro anejo, Corazon anejo are some of my current on hand favs.

[Dusty Chalk]

Free.

No, I'm serious. There's something about tequila that just plain tastes better when someone else is buyin'.

[Micropassatman]

Nobody mentioned Cabo Wabo yet?!! Their Anejo is my fave. Don Julio is probably second. Herradura, third. Bought a bottle of Patron anejo recently, and thought it was too harsh. I prefer the anejo to a blanco, as a rule. Sauza commemorativo is an exception to the rule. Very good, 'cheap' tequila. Blows Jose away, anyday. Never tried the Corazon. I'll be headed to Cabo San Lucas again in three weeks. A week of agave!

This is the correct answer.

[NeedForSpeed]

Hagar's Cabo Wabo..A bite at the begining, but smooth going down.
Petrone

[thedelihaus]

One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor...

Mescal, Gusano Rojo. With chewy worm at the bottom, and a red bag of spices around the neck...

[SPL db]

Sorry, I prefer Rum... Captain Morgan to be exact! :D

Scott

[jimfet]

Any as long as some one else is drinking it.

[bozak ron]

I'll cast my vote for Patron Anejo, realizing that I haven't tried all available brands.

[Toka]

I'll third Cabo Wabo...didn't want to like it (Sammy Hagar) but darnit, its the best. I actually prefer the Reposado, mostly because its much easier to find...the Anejo is rare in these here parts.

[Tonedeaf]

Cazadores Reposado and El Jimador are my favorites. Haven't tried Cabo yet.

[Eunomians]

Don Julio Blanco.

And of course, Cazadores!

I have not tried Sammy Hagar's Tequila. My reasoning behind this is that Tequila comes from Jalisco, not Baja California Norte (Rosarito)!

The most interesting of them all is Pulque, but it's not refined like Tequila. Just raw slightly-hallucinatory elation in each serving. Too bad you can't get it on this side of the border.

[blownsi]

Any kind that stays down.

[tentoze]

Any kind that stays down.

Which, in my case, is just about all of them.

[gardgwr]

Right now, Cazadores Anejo.
mmm...afterglow... :boring:

[Toka]

Cabo Wabo is most certainly is a Jalisco product...I don't recall the whole story, but apparently it was a small opertion going back decades, Sammy dumped some money behind it and upped production, and boom, Cabo Wabo appears. I really, really wanted to label it a gimmick and be done with it, but it truly is superb. Can't say its the end-all be-all, but for what I can find at the local store, it can't be beat. :yes:

[Russellc]

Actually, there is no "slightly halluncinatory" anything about Pulque. It like tequila, comes from the Agave plant. The confusion comes from people assuming this is the same cacti that mescaline comes from, with more confusion added by the drink "mescal" which also comes from the agave plant. Mescaline comes from the Peyote cactus, which has nothing to do with Pulque, tequila, or mescal. The sole active ingredient in all is alcohol.
My personal favorite tequilas are corazon anjeo, Don Eduardo anjeo, Tres generations anjeo and silver, and El tesoro anjeo. On the cheap, the cuervo "tradicional" 100% blue agave resposado isnt bad, and that what goes into margaritas at my house, about 20 bucks. The Cazadores is also pretty darn good as well. all these are 100% BLUE agave tequilas, not all are. I find Hagar's tequilas to be over priced, with tastes of straw and sort of a wet cement aroma, (which is not uncommon in lesser tequilas,)as do most of the various tasting sites...there is better for the money in many opinions.

Yecccchhhhhhh!
Nasty cactus juice :puke: :puke:
Got sicker than a dog many moons ago chasing the worm, and can't stand the smell since then.
Yeah, I know mescal has the worm, but same diff.

Not too fond of Southern Comfort for the same reason.........:drunk:

[Photobitstream]

Cava Antigua Reposado
Jose Cuervo de la Familia

A little pricey but well worth it.

Haven't had the Cava Antigua, but Cuervo Reserva de Familia is the best tequila I've had. At $100 per bottle I don't have it often, but man what a treat.

For everyday use I find it hard to beat Antigua Cruz.

Don Julio, Correllejo, Patron, and several others mentioned are all excellent too. If you're looking for a relatively cheap but drinkable Tequila try Sauza Commeritivo. Smooth stuff.

[fabvsix]

Some of my favorites:
ALL of Corralejo's tequila's (someone is missing the boat here about margarita's too!) The Anejo is 92 points and EXCELLENT for Margarita's

Penca Azul: $99.99 per bottle at Bevmo. 92 points smooth as butter EXCELLENT in Margarita's

Corazon (Heart) is EXCELLENT and GREAT with Margarita's

Sauza is NASTY CHEAP ROT GUT STUFF ! Taste like its got SOAP in it AVOID!

Now its the Margarita Mix that makes it.....BEST STUFF:

El Paso Margarita Mix made with Key Limes and Meyer Lemons in El Paso Texas! Simply THE BEST !

P.S.
I've got 6 bottle of Corralejo Anejo on back order ? Why backorder, because it superb stuff HARD to obtain.......They have been making it since the 1700's....

[fabvsix]

One order has arrived and two to go.......Holiday coming is LOOKING GOOD! :banana:

You are correct.

But...

Most Pulque is homemade, made in small batches - and most certainly made with not just agave/maguey! It is notorious for being unsanitarily made (think Hepatitis, etc) since it is strained through various soiled fabrics. Suffice it to say, there is usually some mildly hallucinatory stuff in it such as minute amounts of ground psilocybin, peyote buttons, ground cannabis resin, etc. Beware of the mug handed to you the next time you're at a house party in Mexico D.F.! Sip with care in small doses!


Here are the only 2 methods of drinking Tequila. Any other way and you'll be taken out back (along with Jose Cuervo) and shot!

1. Sip on it with fresh lime (NEVER with salt)
2. Sip on it with fresh lime & with a shot glass filled with FRESHLY-MADE sangrita (to sip on, of course)

Salud a todos!

Will agree on the sangrita, this is much preferable to the north american method of "salt and lemon/lime"........for those of you who havent tried the sangrita, you should! It is not to be confused with the spanish wine conncotion "sangria" which is a wine punch....sangrita recipes can be found on the web, typically made from "fresh" orange, lime and tomato juice, spiced with a little oninon and hot peppers....I do it up in my juicer....great match with tequila sipping.
As to pulque, seehttp://www.ianchadwick.com/tequila/pulque.html
A brief overview is: Pulque is fermented, not ditilled, with aich ranging from 4 to 8 %. It contains vegetable protiens, carbs and even vitamins, and dates from around 200 CE (1172-1291) and was an aztec ceremonial drink. Its use was very strict, and only priests were allowed a 5th glass...aztecs did not take to public drunkeness and the punishment was death!

You are correct about the toxemia, In traditional manufacture a "muneca" or doll was used which is basically a rag filled with human feces!

Unsanitary conditions of manufacture led to widespread toxemia during the 19th century. Finally the "patronato del maguey" or maguey board was formed in the 60s which promoted sanitary conditions of manufacture. This board was absorbed by the "national program for the maguey and the nopal" in 1985. I have never heard of any of the hallucinatory agents you mention being added, and can find nothing supporting such additives to pulque, and still believe it to be an old wives tale....but that being said, anyone could spike anything with anything, but to suggest that pulque is a drug is total BS.

Russellc
Russellc

[Eunomians]

You are right again, Pulque is NOT a drug. And anybody can indeed spike anything. There are indeed countless old wives tales about Pulque. The muñequita tale is true though. In D.F., there are lots of Pulquerias. And they are still unsanitary (hey, it's D.F.!). But the young folks, and the house parties in the small colonias and pueblas, well, the Pulque they sometimes make, is special. I find it to be a Chilango tradition to have 'unique' Pulque once in a blue moon.

If you guys have not tried sangrita, make yourselves a batch. Stay away from the pre-prepared bottled sangrita, as it is actually just a lot of corn syrup, chili powder, red dye and dried lime peels. A good sangrita is almost sort of like gazpacho.

Salud!!

[fabvsix]

What are the ingred's for that Sangrita? :sigh:

[fabvsix]

never mind....I googled it......I suppose I could substitute an orange for some local Odwa OJ?

[Eunomians]

Sure, why not.

The trick with sangrita is the texture along with the ingredients. You want it ice cold, and somewhat thick, but not too thick. It's also gotta be quite sour but not too sour.

What I'm getting at is that good sangrita is made via trial and error. Once you get it right, you'll know. The way to drink it is sip for sip: sip tequila then sip sangrita.

Enjoy. You're gonna love it. Even with a Sauza (which would be a very common partner in a cantina) such as Hornitos.

Yes1 It is really great stuff and is perfect thing to sip in between slugs of tequila. There are several different slightly different recipes...if you use one with onion, it is really nice, but only a little! Too much onion really makes it bad! I regularly use a breville centifical juicer, and it makes sangrita a breeze. the onion is difficult w/o a juicer. Also, it varies what you use to make it hot. Sangrita really complements tequila and should be tried and the recipe adjusted to personal taste. Most "premade" sangrita is not the best, as unomians suggests. He is also right about the hornitos...not 100% blue agave, but I got to admit, really isnt bad for the price, and is frequently on sale in liquor stores.

Russellc

[fabvsix]

I just got all my orders:
9 Bottles of Corralejo (assorted) via the internet. What a nightmare to locate inventory.....Anyway, it sounds like its best to achieve a "bad" gazpacho tecture?Not too thick and not to thin...... I have a vitamix blender which should do just fine. I'll let you know how it goes....
I have to take it easy tonight as I have a dentist appointment tomorrow morning and don't want to stink alcholol...... :no:

[fabvsix]

When I was first investigating sangrita, I was told that was the one pre made that was tolerable, but once I made it, I saw no reason to ever order. your juicer will do fine. I throw in a couple tomatoes, oranges, a lime a slice of onion and something hot, preferably chili related.... I find that Sriracha hot chili sauce, like found in asian markets works well, most traditional recipes call for fresh chilis. Just play around with it, I found it was really good as long as you dont put too much onion....some dont call for onion, but a small amount I found to add a nice spicy effect, tastes may vary. Consistency is about like tomato juice, more or less. Usually cabalitos, or 2 oz shot glasses are used, one for tequila and one for the sangrita.....I think I'll go make some now!

Russellc

[fabvsix]

Thanks Russell!
I'm about to try it out....btw I've grown these nifty peppers given to me by a hispanic friend who grows these peppers. They are hot for about 60 seconds and leaves NO lingering hottness in your mouth. So I took some and grew them this year. One pepper yielded 15 plants! They look similar and in size to a tabasco pepper. Green then turn red...Here is a shot of them....

[fabvsix]

It's excellent ! WOW ! I must have some mexican blood in my genes.....
I LOVE sour lemony/Lime/Tomatoe juice to begin with so this is PERFECT with my taste buds....Those who don't care for sour stuff would not appreciate this. Only concern is I'm starting to catch a buzz quickly...... :banana: :scratch2: :yes: :thmbsp: :banana:

[Eunomians]

As Russellc mentioned, a hint of onion really is the trick. It's hard to get the balance just right - but once perfect balance is achieved, you will be delighted.

Use whatever peppers you enjoy flavor-wise. I like to throw in fresh undried serrano, chilaca and jalapeno (for that 'green' or 'fresh' taste).

As previously mentioned, the best method for pure tequila enjoyment is to use a Cabalitos glass - actually 2 of them. 1 for Tequila, the other for the Sangrita. These are taller & thinner glasses than the ubiquitous 'shot' glass - but they hold the same amount of liquid. Cut some fresh lime, preferrably what's known as Key Lime, since key limes are actually just Mexican Limes. They are very small yet packed with lots of juice and tend to have a more sweet along with sour flavor than USA limes.

The danger of Sangrita is that you can guzzle huge amounts of Tequila!

For example: La Faena in Mexico D.F. (City), which is a very old, famous raggedy & bustling cantina with a bullfighting/matador/picador theme, would serve you up a shot of Hornitos with a shot of Sangrita as their 'regular fare'. Their Sangrita is perfectly balanced, flavorful, with a hint of onion for flavor and texture, but not with excessive amounts so as to leave you with onion breath.

As with all great things in life, Sangrita & Tequila are delicate and carefully balanced. Enjoy!

If you think you've come up with a good Sangrita recipe, let's hear how you made it!

[fabvsix]

I used Campbells tomatoe juice as shown in the picture along with fresh limes and California navel oranges with my home grown peppers......I'm in love but as you indicated respect that Tequila.
I used two Waterford Crystal glasses called: Brandy Balloon glass:yes:

This evening I'm going to make some tomatoe juice from fresh vine tomatoes and see what taste better. I have 4 bottles of Sangrita Real being shipped. I'll make sure to let you guys know what taste best:
Campbells tomatoe juice (concentrated) or fresh tomatoes or Sangrita Real.....

Tonight I'm preparing my first deboned chicken stuffed with Pork Boudin from Louisiana! I let ya'll know what I thought......:yes:

I love serrano peppers. those you have will no doubt be excellet. Hot peppers do have different tastes as you have found......more than just the hot part....
every batch of sangrita I ahve made is excellent, although a little different, just dont over do the onion...but I wouldnt leave it out either! Yes you can down a fantastic amount of tequila like this! fortunately, most top shelf tequilas are "only" 38 to 40 percent alcohol....I get into more trouble tasting bourbons, my current faves among them range from 45 percent ( 90 proof) to over 70% ( 140+ proof)! As for glasses, try a search on ebay for 2 ounce shot glass. I got a couple of nice ones for free included with a bottle of the cheap (20 bucks) jose cuervo "traditicional" blue agave resposado. I use it for margaritas.....The expensive stuff is straight only...preferably with the aformentioned sangrita...

I just dont mix it in margaritas...straight only....I dont care for mixes either, I do margaritas with fresh squeezed lime 1/2 to 1 lime, depending on size, 1 1/2 shots tequila, 1 shot of the orange liquer, not triple sec, but that expensive french stuff in the funky square bottle....I cant recall the name right now, too much age and tequila! Crikey! What is that stuff called? Cointreau! thats it! try that in your margaritas for an instant upgrade. Shake with ice, strain into martini glass, I usually dont mess with the salt on the rim, but if you must, wet the rim and stick the glass down in a pile of coarse Fluer de sel, or Kosher salt.

I'll have to try this one. I didn't even recall starting this thread but it must have been after my wife & I went on a margy binge this summer up to today. I've been through all the mixes and they are way too sugary. The above sounds terrific.

[Eunomians]

I had some Margaritas at a local mexican food chain on Sunday. I had 4 Margaritas and I swear that I had a very very light sense that I'd had a drink. There was zero tequila in it and when I asked about why all of us were feeling sober as a dingaling, the response was that their proprietary margarita had just a splash of alcohol. Suddenly I got it: $25.95 a pitcher. We ordered 4 pitchers. Ohhhh I get it!

Anyhow, I am tired of all the fake Triple Sec Margaritas out there. Bring on the real dame with the real tequila-breath! Andale Margarita, vamos a tomar mas!

[Eunomians]

Man I tell ya, sangrita + tequila = serious drunken mayhem. It is amazing how much tequila one can drink if you have sangrita.

The homemade sangrita is really the best stuff. I have to tell you though, it is very common to get sangrita in a bottle in Mexico if you're at a bar. Lots of cantinas are too lazy to make a fresh batch. I am more than happy to drink any sangrita, even the kind that is real syrupy and full of corn syrup. Ok, this sweet sangrita I am talkin' about ain't the best, but it's better than nothing.

I'm going out tonight to drink tequila, and I will be wearing my tequila/sangrita get-up; but it ain't as amazing as yours :yes:

Anyone ever try Casa Noble? I popped into the local state store (blech) yesterday and saw a bottle...was quite pricy ($80 or so), so I didn't bite...will be going back for the Corralejo, though. :)

[fabvsix]

I shop at Beverages and More here in California. A wonderful warehouse chain store. Visit their website at www.bevmo.com They must have 100 different brands of Tequila ranging from $399.00 a pop to that rot gut Saulza for $7.99 a bottle. I found that the Anejo Correlajo at $59.99 a pop is superb for most use (marg's, shots, Sangrita). I feel buying $100 plus a pop are keepers to "put away" for at least 2-3 years kinda like a good bottle of red wine.....

I bought a bottle of their anejo for about $60 back in San Diego. It is good but not as good as Cava Antigua. Certeza and Partida are honorable mentions.

[fabvsix]

it's all in the TASTE BUDS ! It is like wine, some like red over white......its all good in my opinion, but its what your taste buds like......

[Eunomians]

I had forgotten about Cava Antigua. Aside from the cool bottle, Cava Antigua is a nice tasting one.
