how is tequila served at the restaurant in a riedel glass and what is the cover to be layed out for it?

Question

what cover is to be layed at the restaurant table while serving a tequila and how does a waiter serve the teqila from the bottle into the glass. the opening of bottle,hoding it right and the entire procedure.

Answer 1

The famous Riedel Tequila glass... I have not seen many restaurants using this glass but there is on in Guadalajara.

This restaurant likes to serve only the high end tequila in the Riedel, such as Casa Noble or Don Julio (By the way the two tequilas recommended by George Riedel). They set a white cover, the waiter will bring glasses and the bottle to the table on a tray and will lay the glasses and pour about 2oz.

Bottle should already be opened so the server dose not have to juggle at the table, holding should be with label facing customer.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Tequila is a spirit. It would not be served at the table by a waiter. Besides, Reidel is a name, not a style of glass...they make dozens of styles of glasses. If top shelf Tequila is served for sipping, the bartender might use a snifter as one would serve Cognac. In mixed drinks, it would be in the appropriate glass for that drink. And of course, shots are self explanatory.
