Tequilas
March 31st, 2011 . by admin
You are in Cabo Real Estate (or other parts of Mexico) and a good Margarita will just hit the spot. But why does this one taste so different from the one you had last night across the street? Don’t blame it on the bartender or the lime juice…….it is the Tequila. There is a reason that the waiter asks you what Tequila you want when you order a Margarita. Here is a list of Tequilas put out by the Mexican Council on Tequilas rating and describing the various Tequilas. Read through this and find the Tequila that most tempts your taste buds. Next time you order a Margarita, ask for it to be made with that brand of Tequila.
