We’re adopting a southern recipe this week: the Texas Tea. Okay, the origins probably do not lie in the area of Texas as this is yet another “tea” style recipe that no doubt branched off of the Long Island Iced Tea. The big difference in this cocktail is the inclusion of Bourbon as a spirit. [...]
Tropical drinks, slightly sweet cocktails, are pretty and enjoyable on the face. The Tropical Ivan falls directly in the category of fun for your face with a bit of tequila, bitters and triple sec. It’s not too often we’ve done a drink with fruit punch before, especially with tequila!
We’re using the Tres Generaciones this week [...]
Please Note: We recently found out our bottle sample of Partida Añejo was bad. After receiving a new bottle, the “sour” taste reported in this video went away and it was smooth as it should have been. Sorry for the mis-communication, bad samples do happen from time to time.
We’re topping of this week with a [...]
I’ve looked at Tres Generaciones Plata and Añejo and left Reposado for last in the list. 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 [...]
Let’s cut to the chase, I’m going to sit down with some Tres Generaciones Añejo and see how it tastes. Before we taste it, we’ve got to respect the lightly gold color, reminding me of a light beer without the carbonation. The scents rise up quickly into the air, with a “briney” vanilla flavoring and [...]
The Loco Padre, a tequila-style drink with maraschino liqueur and frangelico dancing in some orange juice. This drink shows off the tequila brand very well, in this case Tres Generaciones (regardless to how it’s pronounced in the video).
To lighten the tequila flavors a bit more you can try the recipe with a silver tequila instead.

This is a huge episode, packed full of great blanco tequila brands. It’s a bit long, coming in at the low twenty minute mark, but with nine tequila’s to taste, I believe with covered a great deal of hot brands. Please note, as well, that every one of these brands serves a purpose at its [...]
We’re humbled to have a chance to try the Tres Generaciones brands, starting tonight with their Plata. The Plata/Blanco/White/Silver styles of tequila is one of the toughest to review because it stands naked ready to be put to the ultimate test. It’s difficult to mask any imperfections in a blanco style tequila, no long rests [...]
