We received the Reposado last in the series of the El Gran Jubileo Tequila product line so we’re really looking back to the younger variety of Blanco as well as its older brethren of Añejo as a point of reference. The Reposado definitely lands right in the middle in terms of color, giving off a [...]
We are blessed throughout the year with great spirits, cocktails and accessories. Since our primary focus is reviewing “everyday drinking” equipment and spirits, we receive a lot of products to sit down and work with so we believe it’s time to build our holiday gift list. This list is good for the cocktail drinker, the [...]
It’s Tuesday and that means we’re bringing another week of cocktail recipes to your face. The first in our series will be the Cherry Bomb, we’re starting off a bit sweet.

Republic Tequila Reposado is an organic tequila made with 100% Blue Agave. We’re tasting it only days after reviewing the Republic Tequila Plata to see how the more mature product compares to its sibling and how it holds up to our expectations of “Reposado” (rested) tequila. The Republic Tequila Reposado begins its life as a [...]

The bouquet is a potent agave with a sweet [...]

I’m a fan of the reposado style because it typically fits well between a lighter “mix” Tequila and a sipping aged tequila. However, in my path I’ve seen plenty of great sipping silvers so there is some dispute in [...]
Welcome to our second Tequila tasting, this week we’re hammering out some tastings against a few Reposado brands. These brands may be used for sipping like an aged Añejo or mixing in your favorite cocktail that calls for tequila.
The brands being covered are all top-notch in quality and taste; I ordered them in a high [...]
It’s not a good week without at least one Tequila review, today I’m taking a look at the El Diamante del Cielo Reposado. I’ve already experienced Cielo Blanco and found it extremely warm and pleasant to my mouth so I’m raising my expectations for their Reposado.
Upon initial pour we were surprised to see such a [...]
The Chocolate Margarita is mildly delightful little drink with the great properties of a smooth tequila meets the slight hints of chocolate essence. Top it off with a garnish from DressTheDrink.com and you’re heading to paradise in a cocktail glass. A bit of Cavalino tequila, Cointreau and Sweet/Sour mix – you’re going to want to [...]
