This is the only way to drink tequila - except in a margarita of course. I suggest doing them both together.

I just did four shots with the gold tequila and they were excellent. This is the only way I've tried tequila and enjoyed it.

Lime NOT lemon

You take tequilla shots with lime, NOT lemon. I'm Mexican, I would know. You can use either silver or gold tequilla, but the gold generally tastes better as it's been aged.

Not in Prague and Vienna

In Prague and Vienna, you take tequilla shots with orange slices sprinkled with cincamon. Very delicious!!

Buy good Anejo tequila and you don't need anything else. Try Agavero for the smoothest tequila you have ever tasted. Happy shoot'n!!
