Speaking of Everclear is there any state/place that still sells that stuff? Haven't seen that at our state owned/run stores for ages.

At $200+ a bottle, Cabo Uno appears to be made in a similar process as Patron Platinum.  Best of the best tequilas.


With a beer chaser maybe......

"What is Everclear?

Everclear is a potent type of grain alcohol, which has become a popular drink amongst college students due to its strength.

It’s attracted controversy through the years thanks to it’s high alcohol content and is currently banned in a number of states in the US (including Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Washington, California, Michigan, Ohio, Florida, Virginia and West Virginia).

Besides its strength, part of Everclears popularity can be attributed to it’s affordibility. In states that have not yet banned the drink - you can buy a 750ml bottle for just over $20 which provides excellent value for money when you take into consideration its strength.

Everclear forms an integral part of many cocktails and is rarely drunk straight. For a full listing of Everclear cocktails, please click here."

Could get it in PA when I was in college.  Not any longer.  Can still get it online.  http://www.winechateau.com/vsku1004371.html?utm_source=Google%20Products&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=EVERCLEAR%20GRAIN%20ALCOHOL%20190@

A college friend and I took the sheets off our beds and wore them as diapers for a dry halloween party.  We had an 8oz baby bottle of everclear that we squeezed into the punch and it was PLENTY for both of us.

You can still buy everclear here in the good ole republic of Oklahoma, OK!

I think they still have it here in Colorado, but the only everclear I've ever had came in a ball jar from Lexington, Ky, not a store.

As far as Tequila, we usually drink Herradura Seleccion Suprema, sitting around a fire. After it gone the fire walking begins.

We use Mi amigo Jorges beer glasses for the beer chaser after the Herradura Seleccion Suprema.  (another $200+ tequila).

[Talon]

It's a once a year tradition, we do a pig roast, the three of four of us stay up all night and cook the pig. We were drinking Herradura Añejo Herradura Gold, a friend of ours who drank Tequila all the time, supposedly a aficionado of the stuff, talked us into splitting a bottle between the four of us. So now it's a yearly tradition. Last two years we haven't even had the pig roast, just light a fire and sit around drinking.  I was happy with the Gold label for $50-$60, but it a fun night. We stick the empty bottle in a metal box and melt it flat in the fire afterwards, I have one somewhere around here.

Anyone ever drink Mescal? I wanted to get some, but not sure which ones are good.

[iski]

Have not drunk any in years.  Found out the good mescals do not have a worm in the bottle - not traditional - an export gimmick.

Not sure of a good brand - looks like it would be fun to find one.

Thanks, yea, I've heard the same, the worm is just a gimmick. I'll check it out.

They haven't banned it in IL yet that I know of.  But I'm sure it will be.  They love communist laws in this state.

We can still get it in South Carolina. Most famous in PJ!
I sure would like a glass of PJ right now.

Thanks. That explains why I don't see it anymore. Probably a good thing too it was potent. There is a tradition at the local college (U.Va) called "Fourth Year Fifth" that seniors that participate drink a fifth of liqour of there choice before/during/after the last home football game. Usually something bad (alcohol poisoning) happens to at least one of them.
