@mclaincausey I haven’t had every tequila in that series,but definitely my favorite of the ones that I have had. Last time I was in California,I popped into a convenience store and the had an aisle for spirits,and there it was for $54.95. I immediately bought 2 bottles as I had paid $70 in NYC and it was a special order. Glad to hear you’re enjoying it. My wife spits it out. Go figure.

Trying to finish a bottle if campari so I can switch over to the Leopold version, all this talk of tequila, and having an almost finished bottle of cocchi Americano had me mixing up a riff inspired from a La Rosita I might as well call a La Rosalia.

1oz tequila
1oz cocchi Americano
.5oz mezcal
.5oz Campari
Barspoon of agave nectar or to taste
1 dash ea of orange and grapefruit bitters
Grapefruit twist

My version of a julep. Homegrown mint, splash of simple syrup, too much Buffalo Trace, extra distortion pedal.

[Jett129]

@WhiskeySandwich I’ve been doing something similar this past weekend,but using tequila,and some lime. Kind of like a tequila Mojito,which is also kind of like a Julep.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Jett129 that sounds good! Might have to try something like that. Can’t go wrong with tequila and lime.

trying to get more fruit in my diet.

No fruit in sight but I think this qualifies as dessert

@ARNC I’ve been wanting to try that as it’s pretty reasonably priced in the states. My only hesitation has been the fact that it’s kind of on the young side.

[ARNC]

@Jett129 you probably have access to more products than I do in the UK. Definitely worth a try - imho it’s better than the usual suspects for Manhattans. Want to try the Balboa at some point but will wait till it’s on offer!

@mclaincausey nicely done with the Fortaleza!

[Jett129]

My Million Dollar Mezcalita… I did’t have an orange and I think next time I’ll rim the glass with Sol de Gusano. Fortaleza Still Strength with Real Minero mezcal floated on the top with a lime squeezed in on the rocks @mclaincausey this would put an XHS smile on your face!

Recent pick up. Lovely hints of syrup on this one.

The tasting that I went to was at my new favorite liquor store. Awesome selection and competitive pricing. My new go-to. Planning on getting some more exotic bottles in the future but grabbed some good ones:

...at my new favorite liquor store.

Mind sharing where? Assuming somewhere in Denver?

[mclaincausey]

@pechelman bad form on my part

They’re in an old location with an iconic neon sign right next to beautiful downtown Golden. Just love this place.
