  Margarita Texas Review for Cinco de Mayo

  May 5, 2013 / Cocktails, Common Man Cocktails, Recipes, review, Tequila, video show

  Margarita Texas, the mysterious product which we are using within this video was once developed with HFCS or “High Fructose Corn Syrup” and the recipe has been redesigned to reflect a more authentic style. The recipe is the Margarita Texas Rita, we once did it on youtube with the old style recipe. This “mixer” brings real cane sugar into the lemon/lime mix and, in my opinion, is simply a more authentic sour mix than many others on the store shelves. [...]

  La Pinta Pomegranate Infused Tequila Review

  March 6, 2012 / Cocktails, Common Man Cocktails, review, Tequila, video show

  La Pinta Pomegranate Infused Tequila provides evidence that tequila doesn’t lose its charm when infused with other flavors. What I found so special about La Pinta is the desire to not want to mix it in a cocktail…

  New Years Cocktail: Midnight Revelry

  December 5, 2011 / Cocktails, holiday, New Years, Recipes, Tequila

  We know people go above and beyond for toasting the New Year and often ring it in with an above average… okay, an expensive bottle of champagne. However, I’m not a huge champagne drinker so toasting to something that’s not really exciting to me doesn’t make much sense but I’ve been doing it for over 15-years so why stop now, right? Wrong.

• ABV 25: Reposado Tequila Tasting

  April 19, 2010 / ABV, Reposado, Tequila, video show

  We’re tasting reposado tequila, five brands including: Tres Generaciones, Don Julio, El Gran Jubileo, Partida and the 100-Proof Dulce Vida. We tried to get a cross-section of pricing and style but each tequila ranged from USD $40 to USD $50 so we didn’t get as big of a price bracket as we wanted.

• Eliminator Cocktail Recipe

  April 13, 2010 / Agave, Bourbon, Cocktails, Common Man Cocktails, Tequila, video show, Whiskey

  Two of my favorite spirits mixed together: tequila and bourbon. This cocktail brings the carbonated orange flavors to that of a rich agave (using the Corzo silver) and a mild bourbon finish. If you’re a fan of the tequila flavors and love a nice bourbon, this fairly potent cocktail (considering it’s half orange soda) is definitely something try.

  Dulce Vida Blanco Tequila Review

  April 2, 2010 / Agave, Blanco, review, Tequila

  Dulce Vida Tequila took home the top award for silver tequila in the San Francisco World Spirits and took top honors at the first annual Texas Tequila Throwdown. But, how does it handle a common man tequila drinker without the sophisticated tequila palate of a professional–the everyday drinker.
