I love Margaritas, but usually only let myself have them about once a week, thanks to the calories. But at 68 calories a serving (for the mix only) and all natural, now I can have them whenever I want. And they taste as good as the ones I have at my favorite Mexican restaurant. This stuff is the bomb! Because it's made with agave nectar there's no aftertaste like the "Skinny" cocktails. ]]> Mon, 07 Nov 2011 13:39:44 -0500 1413-1809 http://www.tequila.net/other-products/agave-nectar/tres-agaves-agave-nectar.html It's not the cheapest "margarita mix" on the shelf but it's by far the best. It's not really a "margarita mix" at all because you still use fresh lime juice to make a perfect margarita. I've tried many mixes, but I'm spoiled by simply the agave nectar and lime juice. It's sweet, but not too sweet. I still want to taste the tequila. I don't want a mix or sweetener that drowns out the tequila. The agave nectar by Tres Agaves allows the tequila to breathe. You can find a lot of cheaper margarita mixes, but you get what you pay for. ]]> Mon, 07 Feb 2011 00:13:48 -0500 1435-1607 http://www.tequila.net/other-products/ready-to-drink/el-jimador-new-mix-paloma.html New Mix paloma is a wonderfully refreshing drink, especially in hot weather. It's not a malt-based beverage like all of the other American ready-to-drink choices. This is actually grapefruit soda with a good mid-level silver tequila from casa herradura. I used to buy this stuff all the time in Mexico, it tastes great! And this is the exact same recipe that they market south of the border - it essentially tastes like grapefruit soda with a hint of tequila. I think the mix is outstanding for premade. It's hard to make a fresh paloma that's more than a tiny bit better than this. Considering that, I think this rtd beverage is a great one to keep around if you like citrus drinks. I rated it 60/100 on price because I think 6.99 is slightly high for only 4 cans. I've seen this product selling from $6.49 up to $7.99 per four-pack, with the majority of retailers marking it at $6.99. A little high on cost, but remember you're buying a real mixed drink in a can, not some watered down malt-based drink or wine cooler. There's a noticeable difference in quality, with New Mix paloma coming out far ahead of the other rtds on the market. ]]> Sun, 11 Jul 2010 03:07:33 -0400 1328-1564 http://www.tequila.net/other-products/spirits/don-chendo-destilado-de-agave-anejo.html This is some of he smoothest tequila I've ever tasted. We stopped by the distillery and took the tour, which involved a lesson on how to judge tequila, and a taste of about five different kinds. It is well worth the trip. I only wish I could get it stateside. ]]> Mon, 14 Jun 2010 20:04:54 -0400 1366-1443 http://www.tequila.net/other-products/spirits/bacanora-don-beto.html I asked a friend from Sonora to bring me a good bottle from his recent trip home. This is my first Bacanora experience so I have nothing else to compare it to, but after sampling it several times it presents in the Riedel glass as follows: Clear with a silvery cast it offers an unfamiliar rubbery latex aroma with strong smoke, pine resin and earth. It tastes like a very young spirit. Initially sharp on the tongue, it is quite bitter with an significant alcohol bite. The flavours in the body soften somewhat, and the bitterness abates but the smoke and earth continue to dominate. Finish is lengthy - strange green agave, bitter licorice and more smoke. This is a product which will require some exposure to truly appreciate. ]]> Tue, 30 Mar 2010 00:31:13 -0400
