One thing that came to mind. Generally I think tequila prices are slightly higher in Mexico than the US due to taxes. True, there are a few brands that are not made for export that you can't get outside the country (I believe Don German is one of those) but generally I don't think there will be any great deals to be had relative to what you can get in Texas.

Just a thought...

Thanks I'll have to check out that forum...

Here's my newest addition. I am much bigger fan of Mezcal than Tequila. Not sure if this is even sold in USA. This was bought in Mexico.

ooooh - very nice! Where did you get that if I may ask?
[Reply]

This bottle was from the "Tequila shop" on Isla Mujeres, Quintana Roo. Most of my Tequila is purchased in Mexico. Can't beat the prices, but hate the plastic pouring spout; one sign the bottle is for domestic market :-)

Specks in Austin is the other place, worth it :-)

Thanks. I have friends that vacation in Puerta Vallarta but not elsewhere in Mexico.

Here's my new babe it's the Siete Leguas D'Antaņo Anejo Tequila-Choice white oak barrels and five long years of aging. :-)
Had my brother-in-law send it to me from Guadalajara Mexico. :-)

That is some amazing stuff. A buddy just brought me a bottle of Blue Head Anejo Tequila
[Reply]

I would agree with that put I was thinking more along the lines of picking up local tequilas that I can't get in the states.
[Reply]

I had the good fortune to try the D'Antonio a while ago and found it over-oaked for my palate. Would love to revisit as I really liked the Anejo from this line...

Slightly? You kidding me??? I get Don Julio Blanco for $18 at the Mexican Naval PX. I'd have to convert my other bottles as they are all in Mexico dollar price tags, but I'd expect any tequila to be at least 30% off.

I had the three Kah Tequilas last night and they were all delisious. The Reposado is 110 proof and surprisingly smooth. :-)

Man I am so jealous, your collection is amazing brother.:-)
Unfortunately right in the middle of me building up my tequila collection, I started to build up my cigar collection. And the wallet can only handle on at a time. :-)

Oh, I am in a "It's complicated" relationship with Tequila!! :-)

My latest make up/break up involved some of the ones pictured below. Some of the last to join were not pictured!!! :-)

All of this went down on the Frozen bar pictured!!! :-)

Man, that 1921 is one of my faves...

BUMP!!!!! I like my tequilas ok........

Question for you tequila nerds--> What do you suggest for Margaritas. I mean simple clean margaritas. NO MIX DAMMIT. I use fresh lime juice, Patron Citronge (cheaper than Cointreau and tastes the same), and maybe a dash of club soda.

So with that said....what do you suggest for tequila and do you have a killer recipe I should try? I do NOT like spicy tequila. Thats the only catch for me. Usually, I use Silver or Reposado.
[Reply]

For me, I do not use mixes any more either.

Fresh lime juice, agave nectar and tequila. Occasionally I add water depending on what type of agave nectar I buy (pure versus diluted).

I know some people will say I am crazy, but I do like anejo in my margaritas. A margarita with Partida anejo is the way to go.
[Reply]

Lime Juice, Soda and Tequila. Plain, simple and refreshing.

I may need to give the Agave Nectar a try though :-)

Shack Herf will see a lot of tequila shots going down if it's anything like the last couple years. :-)
