Tequila has not always had the best reputation. While not as notorious as Buckfast, it has, nonetheless, made quite the name for itself as a formidable commotion potion.
That is not really a fair judgement though. It is true that, for many, their only experience of tequila will have been as a shot followed by a slice of lemon. However, there is more to tequila than necking it as part of a riotous night out.
Top quality tequila
Years back, the blog went on a tutored tequila-tasting class and we wrote about it here. Suffice to say that after a couple of hours spent sipping top quality tequilas we developed a new found respect for the much maligned Mexican spirit.
Tonight, a tequila-tasting event at Glasgow’s Topolabamba restaurant aims to be similarly enlightening.
Margaritas
A brand ambassador from Jose Cuervo will be talking guests through five different tequilas. £20 gets you a margarita on arrival, the tutored tasting and lots and lots of chips and salsa. Live music is also promised.
Email eat@topolabamba.com for tickets.
Oh yeah, today is a Mexican Independence Day so you may wish to raise a glass of tequila to our Mexican chums.
