Oh yeah, Tequila. We’re making a cocktail with añejo tequila this week. This is a very complex little cocktail with creme de cacao, chambord and some heavy cream. While this cocktail is great for tequila fans, the complexity and maturity of the añejo really makes this a fun drink for a wide audience (especially those that like [...]
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 [...]

Stand tall, be unique and build relationships with individuals [...]

First, it’s got a great polished gold coloring which is impressive. I had expected it to be a bit browner like a [...]
I’m back on the silver Tequlia bandwagon, this time bringing you my thoughts on Riazul, a 100% Blue Agave Tequila in the silver variety.
