Cazadores Tequila


So when I was a kid drinking Tequila. That sounds like I started drinking at age 8. I think it was more along the lines of age 16. Anyhow my first shot of Tequila went about like this.
I am poured a shot of what was then thought of as Tequila. I down the shot. It burns all the way down. My mouth begins to water. The stomach begins to churn. Sweat begins to bead on my head. Begin looking franticly to find a container to hold the vomit that is coming up any second now. Find no container and begin blowing chunks all over my friend’s kitchen floor. Everyone laughs, except my friend. I look up and say to everyone, “that’s some good stuff right there”.
This sad story has been repeated for far too long. Tequila is not meant to be a vomit inducing drink. I have been educated over the last several years and have discovered a better way. The discovery of good Tequila can be life changing. Instead of feeling like crap the next morning after a night of drinking Tequila, you can wake up feeling great about drinking the juice of the Agave plant.
I am very happy with the Tequila I just found. Cazadores Reposado is a straw color in the bottle with a mildly sweet finish. This is great Tequila to drink over some ice in a big glass because it truly is smooooth. I have enjoyed Cazadores Reposado while eating Chipotle shrimp and non gringo enchiladas. It’s mild Agave flavor is a nice complement to a spicy meal. You may not believe that Tequila is good for anything other than margaritas but if you will trust me and try this and other 100% Agave Tequilas you will find a whole new way to appreciate one Tequila two Tequila Three Tequila – MORE!!!!
The last word about Cazadores Reposado is that it is not a very expensive bottle. I picked this one up at the local liquor store for about $30. Spend a little extra and get the good stuff.
