I Got the Tequila in Me

In Tequila – and tonight, tequila will be in me!

I didn’t have long enough in Tequila – just one night. First stop was the Jose Cuervo tasting rooms. I thought I should have a finer appreciation of the tequila genre, and sipping a few different styles seemed like a good way to do it. Well the lovely ladies behind the bar soon put a stop to that! I selected a tequila I’d never tried before, they poured me a double – ok fine… and then another double. So there I was “tasting” half a glass of tequila, which just about knocked me on my arse, and precluded further tastings (at least for a while). I thought if I had another one I might not find my way back to the hotel…

I recovered somewhat after eating dinner, so decided to give the tequila another shot (so to speak). This one was pretty special. Take down this recipe!

Large mug
plenty of ice
top with a teaspoon of salt (yes…)
a double shot of tequila
squeeze the juice of a whole lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange, squeezed directly into the mug
top off with lemon soda

Delicious, could have drunk them all night.
