"One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor." - George Carlin

Ah. Tequila. 

Did you know? A Tijuana bartender named Carlos Herrera was said to invent the margarita.* Thank you, dear sir, for this contribution to our lives. 
*Laws, Bill. Fifty Plants that Changed the Course of History. Firefly Books, 2015.
Only buy tequila that is 100% de agave or 100% puro de agave. Better to get the decent stuff and drink less than to get a bottle of liquid death. This is one of those things that just really shouldn't be up for debate.
​
We heart tequila. Did you know there are different types? There are:
Blanco (the clear kind) is unaged. Gold is unaged but flavored or colored. Reposado sits for at least two months in French or white oak barrels. A
ñejo sits in those barrels for at least one year, and the Extra Añejo cools its heels for at least three years before hitting the bottom of a rocks glass.
