Tequila Help
 

Bought some 1800 Anejo. Nice, but a little dark and strong-tasting for
margaritas. Any other suggestions for a mixed drink with this stuff?

Thanks!

Actually a=F1ejos are meant to be sipped on their own. In Mexico if you
order a=F1ejo you'll most likely get a sangrita as well to sip alongside
the a=F1ejo but sipping it like a cognac is the preferred method.
Usually the blancos (or even a reposado) are used for mixing.

Actually añejos are meant to be sipped on their own. In Mexico if you
order añejo you'll most likely get a sangrita as well to sip alongside
the añejo but sipping it like a cognac is the preferred method.
Usually the blancos (or even a reposado) are used for mixing.

Thanks. I tend to prefer mixed drinks, but I will try sipping the anejo, and
I will read more at the above website. I had never heard of a sangrita, but
I found this recipe, along with one for a Vampiro, and I will give both a
shot....or two;>).
