    I don’t know what the deal is but Cimarron is doing wonders on me. Can’t believe this thing is sooooo good.
    The flavors are so weirdly good is ridiculous already.
    Got the repo and it is sweet, I like sweet in tequila. Made a margarita today and my wife looked at my like I went somewhere.
    I guess it is a taste I like. Can’t wait to try the añejo.

    Right now my favorite tequila for margaritas is Tapatio. It’s a little more expensive than Cimarron but it has a wonderful crisp rich cooked agave flavor with just the right amount of citrus flavor to it, and it’s additive free. It’s made at La Alteña where Tequila Ocho was started and also where El Tesoro is still made.

  • @oliverdramgood8938

    • @michaelp4034

  • @miksologia
    @miksologia Před 10 měsíci +1

    I didn't realize you should have simple syrup in a Margarita. I'll have to give it a try, since the only Margarita I ever made only had tequila, triple sec and lime and that wasn't too much of enjoyment for me. I can't get my hands on your tequilas over here in Finland but it sure would be nice to know if they tase very much different from Patron for example. I'm still trying to find the part in me that enjoys tequila, but I do enjoy your videos and your attitude (agave comment)!

    I know that’s the classic recipe but man Cointreau is so sweet you don’t need the extra sugar. I prefer pierre ferrand dry curaçao in my marg because it is less sweet and has a much more natural rich tasting orange flavor and I still don’t find the need to add simple
    P.S. I just tried the arette fuerte artesanal 101 blanco as my current margarita pour and it slaps!

    Olmeca Altos reposado is my favorite mixer tequila. Cheap. Still made the traditional way in stone ovens. The result is a robust agave flavor, yet smooth. Literally everything else worthwhile under $40 is made by diffuser or autoclave (not that autoclave is necessarily a bad method). Diffuser tequila like Cazadores just isn't even worth it... When I'm feeling fancy, Tequila Ocho reposado and Tromba reposado are my go-to's.

    Tres Agaves and Cimarron punch WAY out of their price range, really confirms that price means nothing when it comes to tequila quality. I prefer them to offerings more than double their price.
