Agava, Cactus for sale
Imagine your world without tequila... Now, I know what you're on the verge of spluttering: "I never drink tequila - not after that one night!"
That's right. Most people have a healthy wariness of tequila, whether it be from vile experiences or movies featuring rough, Hollywoodified banditos, tequila is the type of drink that you drink to feel like you're drinking. Men love it, because they feel tough. Women love it, because it's a 'woo hoo!' shot.
Throw in the slice of lemon and the salt, the ritual makes it even better as a flagpost of that hazy, drunken night. "Ugh," you croak, "I don't remember a damn thing after the tequila..."
But why should it be that way? I had a friend go to Mexico for vacation, but unfortunately, he got a stomach flu, charmingly named 'Montezuma's Revenge', causing him to curl up in a ball on the floor of his hotel room's bathroom.
Though the trip was a wretched waste of time, he managed to pull his wits together to buy a very good quality bottle of tequila. He brought it over at a party and offered me a shot. Naturally, I accepted, hoping that the manly aura that would infuse my presence after a stiff tequila shot would be enough to impress the cute French exchange student.
It was utter surprise - the shot was smooth, without that harsh kick, and had a complex flavour that floated between creamy thighs and smoky roasted agave. It was delightful, and I've always looked out for that bottle of tequila.
Sadly, it's never been seen again.
