You haven't had Tequilla till you've had some of Sammy Hagar's Cabo Wabo. Incredible.

BB,
Have drunk (dual meaning here) Cabo Wabo & it is a good tequila. Most 100% agave tequilas are good tequilas, and they vary in flavor like other liquors. I prefer the 100% agave vs the mixto versions. The mixtos were a prime source of hangovers in my wasted youth.
This topic could quickly become similar to bike waxes - I (or anybody) mention a brand I really like or I do not like & somebody else swears it's the best stuff ever or not so good. Whether its a silver (which we use for margaritas) a reposado or an anjejo we use for sipping, or that aged triple distilled Patron Platinum (the best I have sipped so far) I like tequila. And tequila likes me.
Have heard there is a special variety of Cabo Wabo - limited production - have not tried it yet.
Link to one websites idea of tequila & varieties:
http://cocktails.about.com/od/spirits/p/tqla_tme.htmHave not really researched mezcals except to eat the worm & not throw up or fall down or do both at the same time which is funny to watch but no fun for the guy/gal on the ground. Need to get to Mexico to do mezcal research sometime. That's where I did a lot of my tequila "research".
Anyway, some of the biker bars have great tequila & tequila shots are traditional for birthdays. Not sure the board needs a thread on it though....
