doing a little survey....how do you drink your Tequila??

Question

answers will be used for seminars and tequila diners. THANKS!

Answer 1

here is a different way to drink it.

3 shot glasses one with clamato, one with Tequila and one with lime juice. Drink them in succession red, white, green. Hint hold clamato in your mouth and top with tequila, swallow and follow with lime.

That is called a Mexican Flag.

I serve Patrone with in a snifter with a partial salt rim and lime garnish.

Answer 2

I like my Casa Noble Crystal in a snifter with a chaser of sangrita

"A complex and very ceremonial process where the taster has to focus all his senses on the appreciation of characteristics of each tequila he is going to taste. The taste should be done in a large snifter glass or the new designed tequila glass by Riedel. No more than five tequilas should be tasted at one time or your senses will be more than likely saturated.

A professional tequila taster will divide the tasting in several steps which will determine the personality of each tequila.

The fist step will be to check the brightness or luminosity of the tequila which he/she will do by lifting the glass against a white light with a small inclination.

Second aspect to check is the color, the taster will place the glass against a white surface holding it by the base and with an incline as to see the center of the spirit, colors will vary depending on the type of tequila, from grays to yellows and coppers. Also the shine on the sides which tequila gives will be evaluated, this will go from silvers to gold in different shades, also depending on the tequila.

Third will be to see the body, the taster will turn the tequila in the glass and will observe the time it will take it to start running down, also important is how close the drops are to each other. The slower it comes down and the closer the drops are the thicker the body, tequilas will go from a very light body to a grate body.

Forth, here comes the difficult part, analyzing aromas which is an ability that has to be learned through practice. Dived the top of the glass in three, the part closes to you is bottom, the middle is center and the farthest is top, the taster will place his nose to start at the bottom to smell the aromas, then to center and finally top, the difference will be very clear in each section. Additionally he/she will bring up the aromas in the tequila by swirling it in the glass and placing his nose again in the bottom, then center and again top, which will again give different aromas. Each step in the production process of tequila plus the agave itself will be the cause of this great variety of notes.

The taster now will try to confirm the aromas by tasting the tequila, he/she will take a small sip and place it in the mouth for about 5 seconds then take air through the mouth and breath out through the nose. This should give stronger notes confirming the ones that were obtain through the nose. (This may take a little practice)

Now you know a little bit more on how to taste tequila."

Answer 3

The last time I really drank Tequila it was with a few of my buddies trying to get ripped before a party. We took a 1/2 gallon of Tequila and a gallon of orange juice and started swigging each and passing it around until all was gone. It couldn't have taken 3 minutes. When I finally came to, the rest of the evening was a blast.

Answer 4

I drink Tequila many ways... most often in a Margarita (w/salt) or a straight shot w/lemon or lime (no salt). When I have a sore throat I have a shot of Tequila mixed with warm honey and lemon.

Answer 5

I only really drink good tequila, and I drink it straight, no salt or lime needed :)
