Is it America's drink?

Loading thread data ...

My guess is that you don't live in any state that borders Mexico or has a large immigrant populace..........i.e. and people that drink/ seem to need multiple brands of tequila

it's not that good......

Are you kidding!? I live in Northern Mexico ....California!!

I'm not surprised. I love tequila, but have stopped paying absurd prices for tequila so expensive and refined and smooth it has no flavor to speak of. Think Patron, Cabo Wabo, Porfidio, etc. I prefer Herradura, yet cringe at the price. I used to buy Herradura anejo for $22 before it became cool and chic to drink tequila and the prices doubled and tripled. Now, I consider myself lucky to find it on sale for $40. It's usually about $50. Damn yuppies.

How revolting! How could something with a 15-item mix that includes cinnamon, lime, eight-year-old Virgin Islands rum, vermouth, vodka, bourbon bean vanilla, anise and hazelnut ever be America's Drink. The ingredients sound more like the beginnings of a holiday fruitcake or a carribean jerk marinade.

This tells it all: At The Thin Man bar in Denver, owner Eric Alstad said he's not sure what to do with his growing supply of Redcliff. His distributor has thrown in a bottle or two for every large order of vodka. But his patrons seemed to dislike the spirit's lingering aftertaste.

Arcella began selling "bomber cups" - plastic tumblers with a shot glass shape inside - to bars to promote shot-with-chaser drinks. He said college kids are catching on, mixing chilled shots of Redcliff with energy drink Red Bull or cola. Now he's peddling some high class shit!

For those who like to be seen consuming Jagermeister-Stella Artois boilermakers ths concoction couldl have appeal.

For the rest of us an american drink like beer, bourbon, whiskey, wine will do. Even Jack Daniels.
