1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Any 100% agave Tequila is fine for margaritas. Can't say that I would ever pick Cuervo though. Not a fan personally.

If you like Tequila, venture into the world of Mezcal if you feel adventurous.

 

I would take Sauza over Cuervo any day, But have you tried tradicional?

 

I actually just read your first comment closer and realized I was wrong. My mind went to Cuervo Gold which isn't good. I haven't had the Tradicional. I bet it's much better based on what I'm reading. Now I'm curious about the blind taste test too.

I've had the silver before and it's a lot better than the gold.

 

My sister brought me a bottle from Oaxaca; they also have a mushroom festival down there! Maria Sabina

 

I was on vacay in Florida, at a bar in Clearwater and sat next to a college professor that told me the trending drink of the students at the time. Had to try it of course. Corona in a bottle with a shot of Bacardi 151, yeah, poured in the corona. 2nd one tasted better than the 1st.
I'd have another, but I'm a rum guy. and a whiskey guy. and a tequila guy. and a vodka guy.

If you have not tried Tres Amigos, I highly recommend it. Best tequila IMO, $38/bottle @ costco. Might cost less over there.

Mayo ≠ Bbq sauce

 

Sup big dog? how did you do that?
No seriously... how the F did you do that??

TRICKSTER WITH THE ZERO FOR A LETTER 'O'

 

I've been through a lot of brands including the amigos and now have settled on 2 price points. $30 or less for mixing and $50-70 for straight. Some sub $30 is good enough for straight and I will go there without pause, like Corralejo. Cristilano is anejo that's been filtered which makes it clear like silver/blanco but you get a lot of different flavors from the aging and filtration process. Herradura ultra, Don Julio '70 are really good and 1800 is a bit cheaper at $45-50 and it's good, Tuyo has 2 different ones that are supposed to be really good but I haven't tried them yet $80-100.
We usually have a bottle or 2 of cristilano in the freezer and 1 or 2 of the lower stuff

 

This is the 1800 cristilano

 

Both have large amounts of vinegar.

 

Any of you guys have tequlia with the worm in it? I know they stopped doing that around here a long time ago but people would always get dared to eat it.

I imagine they may still do it in Mexico but I don't know.

 

That’s the mezcal my sister brought back from Oaxaca. I never ate the worm though

 

You can go to flea markets here and get the lollipops with insects inside them. Want a scorpion sucker?

 

The last couple of weeks we have been using Piedra Azul tequila. It's 100% blue agave (allegedly) and has been on sale for $13.49. Impossible to drink straight, it goes down ruff but for mixed drinks it's perfectly fine

 

What part of the scorpion? The stinger? I could use that as a gift to someone I know.

 

C’mon, can’t be any worse than drinking ‘shine? Right? I imagine you know a few people who make their own.

 

Looks like you can get them from Amazon

or this.

Not as much crunch though..

 

I used to know a guy from Alabama who made the shine. Excellent stuff to remove crud and rust from the exhaust pipes, left it nice and shiny. Drinking it would remove your ability to taste anything for a week or so and it would be wise to steer clear of fire for that week. 1 fart could be explosive, jet fuel is childs play

 

You can get those at Ace Hardware stores here.

 

I got peer pressured into eating a cricket at work. My strange coworker brought in a can he bought somewhere. The taste was ok but one of the bastards legs got stuck on my tongue like a popcorn kernel. I gagged and and my eyes started to water.

Added to my list of things I'm never doing again....

 

i inhaled a grasshopper on a dirtbike ride. Made me fall over choking because he spread his legs and tried to climb out. I tried to hack him out, but it didnt work. He stopped struggling, and probably got digested. Thought i was gonna die.

 

For cheap tequila for mixing and such, el jimador is unbeatable. Just tried a new sipping tequila at a football draft last weekend, it was pretty good. Maestro Doble Diamanté was the name of it. One of my buds is a big wheel at a distributing company and brought a case of it that fell off the truck.

 

I found 8 of these on a motorcycle ride.



I gave 6 away, finished one in a week, and saving the other.
