MarcO Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 I've decided I don't drink enough tequila. Last time I got loaded on it, I ended up standing by myself on the empty dance floor of The Casbah screaming at Todd Gillies, guitar player for the Fat Cats before being led away. That was a golden moment, so why not drink more? I'd love to hear your ideas for good mixed drinks based on tequila, and your recomendations for a good, inexpensive brand to start with. Thanks! (hic!)

A proper prairie fire is tequila and Tabasco, half and half*. I either drink straight shots (with salt & lemon or lime), or tequila sunrises. Aloha, Brad * A friend in university got into these, or, more precisely, these got into him, one night. He had three, and the next day experienced a certain Johnny Cash song title...
paisley Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 straight shots - side bar - tonight no sissy salt or lemon
Esau Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 Tequila is like tattoos in my opinion...you do it straight. I never have gotten the reason for maskin the taste of the sweet nectar with salt,lemon or some other mix,but thats just me. If you do want a good shot thats not straight tequila try "Lighter fluid shooters" 1 shot tequila 1 shot drambui(sp?) 10 drops tabasco But really just drink it straight.

I tried it, and think it's better (smoother, less harsh) than, say, Cuervo silver or gold. Aloha, Brad
Asparagus Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 The Dirty Mother 1/2 Tequila 1/2 Kahlua Yummmmmmm..........
c-towns Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 These are all right... 1 1/2 oz Tequila 3 oz Pineapple Juice Juice of 1/2 Lime(s) or 1/3 oz Tequila 1/3 oz Grenadine 1/3 oz 7-Up or Ginger ale Directions Build the three ingredients in a shot glass in the order listed. Cover the top of the shot glass somehow (napkin, coaster, etc.). Slam the shot glass on the table, bar, etc. Make sure the drink fizzes. Turn the drink up and 'Slam It Into Your Head' before the fizzing subsides. enjoy.jamesd.
CyberHippie Posted June 19, 2003 Report Posted June 19, 2003 I doubt you can get it in Canada. But you really should go for some Mezcal. Why not have tequila with the hallucinogen included!

paisley Posted June 19, 2003 Report Posted June 19, 2003 I don't know about mixed or not, each to there own, I just want to know what time MarcO is meeting me for teq shots at the Side Bar

I have enough trouble drinking tequila straight up!!! BLECH!!! And yes that certain song...
\/\/illy Posted June 19, 2003 Report Posted June 19, 2003 From http://www.mezcal.com/teq.html: In actual fact, all tequilas are mezcal. As a producer of mezcal made only using the blue agave, the town of Tequila had acquired a certain fame by the early nineteenth century. Since 1950, the Mexican government has designated five states as legal production regions of the blue agave and several other states have been allowed to call their mezcal "tequila." From me: This is basically the same as champagne. Champagne is simply sparkling wine specifically from the 'champagne' region of France. As far as how to drink it goes: Can anyone say "Margarita?" From www.m-w.com: Main Entry: mar·ga·ri·ta Pronunciation: "mär-g&-'rE-t& Function: noun Etymology: from the Spanish feminine name Margarita Date: 1963 : a cocktail consisting of tequila, lime or lemon juice, and an orange-flavored liqueur YUM!!!
pipin Posted June 19, 2003 Report Posted June 19, 2003 Last time I did a Prairie Fire , I started to sweat like crazy and dropped to one knee......and then ??? complete black... (just kidding, about the complete black, but not about the dropping to one knee). My favorate tequila drink is a Moon Raker not sure the exact mix but it's great, the only place I ever had one is Urban Thai on College St. Toronto.....Their Blue and strong.
