Does anyone know if anyone in town does tastings? Thanks!You might be able to try Casa Oaxaca, but I don't if I've ever seen them do flights of tequila.

cheezepowder Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Oyamel has a tequila menu. Maybe you could make your own tasting by ordering a few different kinds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 A friend is looking for interesting tequilas in the $30-40 range. I hardly drink the stuff anymore (except La Fogata). Anything new on the tequila scene? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything new on the tequila scene? Thanks. As far as I'm concerned, the single best Tequila brand on the market is Partida. I've not had better. I think that the blanco is under $40.

I've not had better.I think that the blanco is under $40. I would recommend the Don Tepo blanco or reposado tequilas (I haven't had the anejo). I think both are really fantastic and blew away some more well known tequila's last weekend in a non-scientific side-by-side comparison with the Patron Anejo and Don Julio. I know I bought the blanco for under $40, but I don't remember how much the reposado was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Riley Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I don't know if this tequila is available around here or not, but I can't get over how lurid the packaging is. Asombroso Tequila There are just legions of off-color remarks that I could make about this, but I won't. The temptation is almost overwhelming, though.

Al Dente Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Asombroso is the Spanish word for butt plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 OK, not to sound like a snob - who am I fooling? I am a snob - but didja see the recipe for the Ultimate Margarita? It calls for equal parts AsomBroso, Gran Marnier [sic], fresh sqeezed lime, Finest Call margarita mix, sweet and sour, light beer, and one tablespoon frozen pink lemonade. I need a drink.

ol_ironstomach Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Finally, a creditable use for cheap tequila: creating diamond films. Who knew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The temptation is almost overwhelming, though. Well, it's hit our market. Now available in D.C. and, presumably, Virginia and Maryland. Just the tequila you need when you're looking for a quick stiff one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparrott Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 A new cocktail on the list at Inox: reposado tequila, lillet blanc, lime tincture, yellow chartreuse float (though it doesn't really float). Beautiful. Home cocktailians, starting with a mix of 2/3 reposado tequila and 1/3 Lillet blanc (or 50-50 if you like Lillet as much as I do) and accenting is a very good way to start.
