Hornitos Black Barrel Review

ByLuke Mayock July 24, 2023August 7, 2023

A couple months ago I reviewed Hornitos Plata Tequila, and it was almost really good, but just a little off. Some people had recommended I try Hornitos Black Barrel, one of their aƱejo offerings, instead. Well, I recently decided to give it a try because I was looking at making some tequila old fashioneds. If…

Blind Ranking 6 Blanco Tequilas

ByLuke Mayock June 12, 2023

Whiskey is generally sipped, I mean when it comes to good whiskey at least. Tequila is often used in a much more diverse manner. Yeah, the expensive and aged tequila is very good when it’s sipped, the cheap stuff is fine in a marg, but a lot of us… A lot of us drink tequila…

Don Ramon Tequila Reposado

ByLuke Mayock May 13, 2023May 18, 2023

I was wandering the liquor store on the morning of Cinco De Mayo looking for some tequila and beer. I already had the Pacifico’s picked out, and just needed some tequila for margaritas. I was looking for tequila reposado that was reasonably priced, or even cheap. That’s when I came across Don Ramon Tequila Reposado….

Hornitos Tequila Review

ByLuke Mayock April 20, 2023July 24, 2023

I must admit, one reason for this review is definitely the name – Hornitos. It’s also a vastly popular tequila under the Beam-Suntory umbrella, so it’s widely available and reasonably priced. I’ve never been a huge tequila drinker, outside of shots and margaritas, but it’s certainly something I’ve been drinking more and more of –…

Casamigos Reposado vs Blanco

ByLuke Mayock February 9, 2023February 9, 2023

A lot of people have distrust in colored, or brown, tequila. I know I did for awhile. That’s because my first experience was with Jose Cuervo Gold, a very cheap tequila that uses coloring to achieve the goldish brown hue. However, real brown tequila can be quite the treat as it gets its color from…

Corazon Tequila Blanco

ByLuke Mayock September 30, 2022October 3, 2022

Much like scotch, tequila is a spirit I’m trying to drink more and more of in hopes of developing a palate for it. I’ve already found a couple tequilas I really like, such as Teremana Anejo, but it doesn’t stop there. Today, we’re going to do a quick overview and review of Corazon Tequila Blanco….

Cutwater Tequila: Pre-Mixed Cocktails

ByLuke Mayock September 13, 2022September 13, 2022

With the explosion of seltzers in the last half decade, nearly every beer brand has tried to grab a share of the market. What started as White Claws and Truly has turned into Bud Light Seltzer, Corona Seltzer, Michelob Ultra Seltzers, and so on. We’re likely to see something similar happen in the world of…

Espolon Tequila Blanco Review

ByLuke Mayock July 8, 2022July 8, 2022

Tequila’s never really been my go-to drink of choice. Outside of taking shots, I’ve always chosen to go with other spirits – for mixers or drinks on the rocks. I even prefer a daquiri to a margarita. However, I know there are so many people out there who appreciate good tequila, so I’m gonna try…

Teremana Anejo Review

ByLuke Mayock June 27, 2022June 30, 2022

My go-to drink is almost always whiskey. Tequila doesn’t often make it into my body unless it’s in the form of a shot. However, I’m trying to expand my palate with more drinkable or sippable tequilas. Naturally, that led me in the direction of aged tequilas such as Teremana Anejo. I did not expect it…

The 7 Best Chasers For Tequila

ByLuke Mayock April 19, 2022April 19, 2022

Tequila is notorious as a shot. So, if someone shows up to a party with a handle of this Mexican spirit, you can be sure that shots will be taken. If you’re anything like me, you don’t need to take a shot of liquor ever again, but you certainly will. When that bottle of Tequila…

Don Julio vs Patron

ByLuke Mayock January 6, 2022January 18, 2022

Tequila is somewhat of a polarizing liquor. Some absolutely love it while others stay away from it as if their life depends on it – and in the middle you find those who enjoy tequila shots, margaritas, or classic cocktails. Both Don Julio and Patron are popular top shelf tequilas among those enjoy drinking the…
