The official Mexican holidays may be far off on the horizon but the less official runner up has got to be Tequila Day.
Who knows how long July 24th has been honouring the unique taste of this fiery latin liquor? Regardless, Day of the Dead is a while off so we’ll take any excuse to bring a bit of tequila sunshine into our lives.
This characterful liquor is rapidly gaining popularity here, there and everywhere due to it’s peppery versatility. Of course the traditional way to drink this tasty tipple has got to be the best, and no I’m not talking about shots…
Tequila is so delicious, you’re actually supposed to sip it! Put the lime and salt away and treat this drink with the respect of a true Vaquero.
Make sure your tequila gets the elegance you’d give to any brandy, whisky or cognac by pouring it into a stylish Urban Bar Rocking Tumbler.
If you can’t yet handle the sipping, at least drink your shooters from a shot glass as characterful as its contents. We recommend a zingy and colourful Tiki Shot Glass or Tiki Totem shooters.
If you want to savour that tequila taste without sipping the straight stuff then why not try a tequila cocktail.
