I remember those dark days when Cuervo Gold was the highest grade you could find. So much of that ghastly fluid has passed over my lips - both to and fro. It is now a blessed time indeed to have such a wide and flavorful selection to choose from.
"En tequila es verdad", and "Tequila is my bretheren" to quote Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers. I've had the good and the bad. The expensive and rare, the cheap and the plentiful. Really it's all about the places you have it and those you share it with.
I'm torn inside as to whether I should spread the word in this manner. Usually this is a practice best learned and shared in person... I wish all of you try this sometime soon.
I speak of times spent with a bottle of the golden nectar, shots hoisted with a cinnamon and orange chaser. I learned of the method on a dusty beach in Mexico. Rumor has it it's 'German Style'. I can't verify this. I can only attest to the delicious combination and the looks of those who have experienced it.
I'm not much of a sipper so the technique is more focused on the shot - I believe the method begs modification to suit your tastes:
Begin with the preparation of the oranges. Cut them into wedges and lay them out. Generously sprinkle cinnamon over the oranges. Gold tequila is preferred for this, although I reckon silver will do in a pinch. Toast loudly and raise your glasses to those who fight and have fought to keep us safe. Drink your shot, savour the taste for a brief moment.... Then eat the orange wedge. What you taste will leave a lasting impression. Then spread the word.
