- In today's video, we discuss how to drink tequila the authentic way! Although not very complicated, we go over what a proper tequila is, how its served, and what to pair it with!
Sangrita recipe:
8 oz Grape Fruit Juice
4 oz Lime Juice
2 oz Orange Juice
5-10 dashes of Hot sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
GET SOME TEQUILA FOR YOUR FINE SELF:drizly.sjv.io/6bg6yQ
Espolon is the tits. It blows my mind that people will pay the same price for cuervo as that stuff, there's no comparison between the two.
Drizly will not deliver to me in AZ. SUCKS. Waiting for video on the reposados and anejos. Thanks for explaining the blue agave factor. Never knew that and will only look for that on the label from now on. 👍
@@humanstew8866 the cuervo bottle in this vid is pretty bad and I wouldn't drink it if you paid me. But cuervo does produce some top shelf as well, it's just not as common to see you here in the states.
@@Lex-pw9yx Fair enough. I'd probably have never given Cuervo a chance just because Cuervo Gold has left a sour taste in my mouth
you called jose cuervo ceap but it like $50 a bottle for 700ml
I was shocked to see only 100 subscribers (new sub btw), your production, editing, speaking, etc is very high quality. Can't wait to see more of you in the future!
I really appreciate that Kevin, looking forward to making more content!
Seriously couldn’t agree more. Keep it up
Love your vids! The reason why he doesn't have more subscribers is because the UA-cam algorithm doesn't promote videos containing alcohol consumption :/
Came here to say that exact same thing!
@@EdBMetal Because time passed
Honestly, I thought I hated tequila until I tried a quality one. Bought a ~$55 bottle of a reposado. It brought out such nice flavors that really deserve to be sipped and enjoyed. I'll also make it into a sort of old fashion with: 2 oz tequila of choice, a barspoon of agave nectar, 1-2 dashes of orange bitters, garnished with an expressed orange peel. It's a refreshing way to wind down!
Littttle, the reposado is the yummy tequila.
Necroposting, but if you want something good for the cheap, see if you have La Gritona in your area. It's the distiller's love letter to the agave plant and is almost citrusy and fresh. I sip it alone, or have it in a paloma
@@nisahurbina4553 dead posting enough that I am currently working in a taquila bar, haha. I’ll have to check when I’m at the liquor store next!
I was too scared to try any type of tequila for all of my 20's due to having had the dry-heave hangovers from my teenage era experiments with Jose gold. By age 32 I was a big whiskey and rum fan. But after trying a bunch of different decent quality tequilas I was a fan right away. Such a shame that Jose and the cheap crap unfairly ruined tequila's reputation for alot of us "back in the day". The tequila scene back then wasn't anything like what it is now.
What brand?
My favorite is anejo
Unpretentious, practical, accessible, and an endearing presentation. It's just like the drink! Thanks for sharing.
Someone else just called me pretentious on this video so I really appreciate this comment lmaoooooooo. Super glad you enjoyed!
@@SlightlyCultured nah.. you were joking around and you came off like you were joking around. You have a friendly and fun persona on camera. Keep up the great work!
Tequila is gross to me unfortunately
All my family is from Jalisco and the authentic way to drink it is to drink it how you want to. Try Centenario. Cheers
i think we related cuh
If a jalicense (is that how you say it) tells me to try a tequila, I guess I’ll have to. Blanco, rep, or anejo?
@@jacobm2625 My personal favorite in any cocktail is the reposado but the anejo is the best for shots as it has a more unique flavor. I'm not crazy about tequila because rum is a thing hahaha. Cheers.
@@jacobm2625
Avoid blanco, there is barely any aging to it and most blanco tastes similar. This is the stuff uncultured people drink at bars with lime.
Go Reposado or better yet Anejo
JASILICO
As a bartender, I have plenty of recipes to last me for the rest of my career. These are the videos that are genuinely needed to help my improve. Working as a run of the mill bartender is all recipe memorization for the most part, but once you begin crafting cocktails and catering to guests on an individual level knowledge like this really changes the game and can totally make an impact with customers, thank you so much for all of these I’ve watched all your vids twice and can’t wait for more
Also the fact that it’s not only educational but actually has me laughing out loud is a hard to find combo, you found ur calling
Wow! I am super stoked I was able to be helpful Jacob! Glad you enjoyed! Maybe you can help me stop spilling....
Is there a simple way to drink it without making a cocktail? Like tequila on ice with some lime in it maybe ? Or maybe a little hot sause and salt? No idea but I know I get tired of making margaritas all the time but I also am not sure I want to drink it straight.
@@bradbartlett2663 straight is the way to go and better with a tequila blanco. Want a cocktail?
Charro negro: ice, white tequila fill the glass with Coca Cola.
Paloma: ice, tequila, fill the glass with Squirt.
You can add a twist of lemon peel (I’m not sure if that’s what you call it in English).
I wouldn’t use a fine tequila for this, but if you can find El Tequileño blanco, that’s a good one for cocktails
Something to keep in mind:
The ñ in Añejo breaks down to two sounds (an 'n' sound and a 'y' sound). A syllabication would be something like An-ye-ho. I thought I was on a 100k sub channel with the quality, keep it consistent. This is good stuff. Also, glassware isn't talked about as much but it does enhance or detract from the drinking experience (whether it's water or juice or booze)
That is actually helpful, thank you lol! And I appreciate the kind words Conan!
No lo podria yo explicar mejor. Good work.
Like the gn in cognac
nope, the eñe is one single sound which can be pronounced as you said by people who can't produce the correct sound.
Thank you! I steered so clear of tequila as a young 20 something because of the drinking/party culture around it and then decided to give it (Patron Silver) a go at a bartenders recommendation. And I love it. I'm not a fan of most alcohol. I'm an avid taster but never found "my alcohol genre" until tequila.
It's amazing how similar it is to drinking a good whiskey! It's like writing off the entire world of whiskey because I had only seen and tasted fireball!
Very excited to get my hands on the barrel aged varieties. I would love to see how the aging alters the flavor profile.
Keep up this production an I easily see you having over a million subs an have brands reach out to you for sponsored vids
Jasper, happy to see you back! Thank you! I'm going to try and keep it weekly and keep improving!
@@SlightlyCultured I’ll keep tuning in man, love the work! Thanks for the great vids can’t wait for more
just found the channel today and couldn’t agree more bro keep it up 👍
Glad you touched on sangrita and that salt and lime is still used in Mexico. Some of my favorite memories in Mexico are sitting around a table with friends in chill restaurants with bottle service including stemmed tasting glasses with salt and lime.
I love Espolon as my go-to, well priced and great tasting Tequila. When I drink it I will put one single medium sized ice cube in a rocks glass, 2oz tequila, a squeeze of lime, and 1/4oz home made simple syrup.
Throw in some bitters and it's almost a tequila old fashioned!
What is the best tequila? The one you like. But I prefer mine straight with an ocassional lime to lick . Good tequila= no hangover!
It makes sense once you think of it just like a whiskey, there's unaged unoaked whiskey (silver), and aged whiskey (anejo)
The grand spanking majority of us mexicans actually drink our tequilla in shots; or we mix it into something. Even the high end stuff.
I find the "this is how its supposed to be done" attitude of how to drink tequila or how its supposed to be made so frustrating with the younger tequila drinkers. I am not saying he is but there are many f them out there. Being Mexican, close to Mexico and often going into Mexico, it was always a shot of tequila, but drink it however you like.
@@fatherjohn1869 I have lived in México my whole life and of course, we have a big drinking culture here. Most often drinked as a shot, but might sip some nicer tequilas to get the taste, most people still ask for limón and I can't quite understand why, as it is quite tasty by itself
@Isnsn Cjdjw he was specifically talking about high quality tequila. It says so right in his post. If you're going to be a condescending prick, make sure you at least know how to read.
@@Xavier_Coogat_the_Mambo_King so he uses Espolon as an example? Great tequila but towards ths bottom of the shelf. A good example could have been G4, Tears of Llorona even some of the NOM specialties.
I love how you said nonchalantly just mixed it in with something so I guess I am doing it right
I was in a local dive bar in Mexico and the bartender recommended sangrita with good tequila. I still use the recipe he served/told me about: 2 parts tomato juice, 1 part orange juice, as much fresh lime juice as you like, plus a generous helping of cayenne pepper. I loved it and it's still my favorite drink pairing. I am going to try this one too, it sounds great.
Still not right, by a long shot. But a better shot than the one in the podcast. I got a recipe that was based on several good bars in Guadalajara. By the way, if it has tomato it's 'Mexico City' style..... ;)
Used to work in a few bars quite some time ago and the 100% Agave thing was one of the biggest things that changed my stance and outlook on tequila. Growing up being a teen or young adult at parties, usually IF tequila was there it was Jose Cuervo garbage and once in a while somebody would bring Patron because it was the rappers drink of that time.
I learned there wasn't just blancos and that too really changed things for me. The first Anjeo and Reposado's I had completely changed my views on the taste. I generally prefer Anjeo tequila's with Don Juilio being one of my favorites, but for a good party tequila most Reposado's work just fine for it as well as making good cocktails.
It's amazing how many people think tequila is bad because of bad tequilas
sipping quality Tequila in a nice scottish glencarin glass is the best.
This man is going to end up at 100k subs. I want you all to see this and remember what I say because the algorithm has BLESSED THIS MAN
I hope I still see your comments when we reach 100K ✊
Damn, you started showing up in my recommended, and I didn't realize you had such a low sub/view count! This is such a high quality, I thought you would be up there with channels like How To Drink and Cocktail Chemistry!
Great stuff, keep it up! Glad I could be here to see you at such an early stage!
Thanks Parallax! Being compared to those guys is crazy but I really appreciate it!
There’s also Cristalino. So 5 types.
Also another big factor in the quality of 100% Agave tequila is the cooking methods. There is a huge difference between a tequila that uses stone brick ovens and a tequila that uses a diffuser.
So not all 100% agave tequila are the same quality. Generally stone brick oven is the best method for cooking.
Check us out! Una Vida Tequila 🤘🏼
Cristalino no se considera tequila a los tequileros auténticos.
I didn't find out about diffusers and additives until watching some videos on YT. Then after some research I found out that half of the stuff I was drinking was diffuser tequila. I won't buy and support the diffuser stuff now that I know about it. Diffusers are like a blatant slap in the face to the time-honored way of crafting a quality product, just like how cheap American blended whiskey is it's own sacrilege of sorts. I guess they both have their place if you will, but not in my house.
@e glezll para los puristas, solo el Blanco(EN- Silver) es considerado tequila, de lo que yo escuché alguna vez. Pero tienes razón, Cristalino no se considera oficialmente por el CRT como una clase de tequila.
The attack on titan sped up soundtrack is worth a follow
Welcome aboard Hector!
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed.
Same
Every experienced drunk I know has switched over to tequila, it's clean, it's tasty, it doesn't burn, it doesn't make you hungover. I believe it's a superior spirit.
People love to bemoan tequila they drank in college. It makes my eyes roll.
Great to see this channel really kicking off! This is the hidden gem of youtube that's about to be not-so hidden! Keep up the fantastic videos :)
Yeah man its been kinda crazy these last couple weeks, videos have been popping off! I really appreciate the kind words!
@@SlightlyCultured mate if you keep up this production quality and amazing content, we'll be seeing you at a million subscribers in no time! :)
I'm a mexican and honestly even I wasn't aware of this much stuff. My friends and I just drink it mixed with mineral water and limes or drink it straight for shots
It’s more common in Jalisco state then other Mexican states
Would love to see a rum episode in the future!! :)
Noted my friend!
I loved the video! I don't doubt you are 100% right that is the right way; though from what I have experienced the must normal ways are in a Paloma, shots, or straight with a beer as a chacer.
Defenitely you got my sub, looking forward to learn about other drinks
The way you said “delightful” you are 100% invited to the carne asada and you reminded me of the amigos in Mexico sitting at a bar sipping on tequila the right way.
I take two shots of espolon. ice cubes, then shake them together. nxt I take a freeze cup and add 3 shots of LIME seltzer. I add the shaken iced espolon into the seltzer and then I slightly twirl a metal ice rod (metal chop stick in freezer) and stir the mix gently. It's perfect! gives me those perfect notes of agave without being to blanco straight distilled harshness. perfect for sipping.
Ranch water!
When I switched from 1800 and Jose Cuervo to Epoalon, it completely changed how I drink. It is now one of my favorite spirits to drink neat along side my assortment of whiskey and gin
Que tal amigo, excelente video, muy bien explicado, congratulations from Mexico!
Subscribed! I personally had a really bad experience with Tequila back in my college days, so I was put off by the stuff for the longest time. However, after a few sessions with my cousin who is a Tequila fan, I was able to get my bearings and re-evaluate Tequila properly.
Currently enjoying a glass of Centenario Blanco 100% Agave Tequila now. Cheers!
Glad I was able to find this guy before he hit 1K subs, after watching all his vids I can tell he’s gonna grow really fast.
Thanks GG! Thanks for leaving a couple comments too! Stoked to have you along for the ride!
I'm from Texas and you gave an appropriate breakdown of Tequila drinking! I am subscribing because of the bottle of Soju in the background.
The production value of this channel made me think it had easily 10x the subs. While non of my friends like this kind of stuff, I will drop a sub and point people your way if an opportunity arises.
I really really appreciate that Doc! I hope you enjoy the journey!
so happy to be here and subbed at 12k cause i KNOW this channel’s gonna blow up! you got a great personality and your editing is top notch. keep it up my guy, i’m here for it! 💜
Thanks for the education on tequila. Great video. I'm a new to tequila and I appreciate all of the good videos out there that help me to learn what is good to drink and what to avoid. I look forward to watching more. Thanks!
I absolutely love espolon tequila, it deserves more attention. The flavours are so pronounced I normally enjoy it without lime
I would reserve Espalon for margaritas. It's not a sipper. It's a well made $25 tequila and not bad but I think it has a strong vodka note. The taste of the alcohol is more distinct than other better tequilas.
Great video! You gotta try Fortaleza if you haven't, it is my favorite tequila along with Cascahuin. Top 2 imo.
Another thing to note is even the 100% agave ones can have a ton of additives. Just much less than mixtos. Casamigos and clase azul are examples of tequila that still have a lot of additives
my fav blanco is TEQUILA ARQUITECTO. very smooth with a nice orange back note flavour to it.
Noted!
This is a fun way to drink !! I put some salt in the sangrita as well.
Learned from my brother in law about high quality sipping tequila. Changed my world.
Anytime drinking tequila I always paired it with pickle juice. whether I was chasing with it or just sipping on it between tequila sips, it always paired super well with whatever tequila I had.
I can honestly say, don't think I have ever heard of that before, but still noted Michael LMAO
@@SlightlyCultured it's a big thing here in Southern Indiana, too. Lol
In Poland we drink a shot of Vodka and bite off a bit from a pickled cucumber or eat a small pickled mushroom next.
Omg this is great! I could never tolerate drinking tequila straight but paired side by side with the sangrita is fking fantastic! You sir, earned yourself a sub!
I'm a huge Tequila fan! Your video provided great info. Love your sense of humor!!
Your videos are great, I just started the video but you have me hooked man, hope to see a lot from you man
Yayyyyyyy! Super glad you enjoyed Quesadilla!
Tapatio is my favorite hotsauce. Love it on plain lays
Hey, great channel! Talk about Cachaça, it is a awesome spirit.
Cheers from Brasil!
Tequila and club soda. No lemon or salt. Garnish with a lime wedge is optional but thats a typical way to drink tequila as well they drink it in Jalisco and that's how I drink it mostly.
Altos is a good teq. Also go with silver, the barrel can add a bunch of allergens for those of us that suck and dont want headaches...
Great video this Is exactly what I tell people who haven't had authentic tequila
nice educational content! long time whisky only drinker here trying to diversivy
Thanks Mekore! If you are a whiskey drinker I would def recommend Anejo Tequila or if you want something more unique, Mezcal might be up your alley!
Great choice of Tequila...very smooth!
My man made his own sangrita. I’m so proud
Ever since I got into tequila the bottle sit at room temp and I just pour my repo into a glencairn or something similar and sip neat. Love tequila ocho G4 and casa noble at the moment.
Love the videos hope to see more from you and continue with more "The authentic way" vids learning a lot the editing , style and the memes are great.
That's what the channel is all about baby, more to come I promise!
I'm definitely expecting to see your subscriber numbers shoot into the sky. Great videos man.
Hey Ryo, I really appreciate that, I'll keep doing my best!
05:26 Jasilico, lol. Tapatio is american from california use Valentina, Valentina is made in guadalajara jalisco less salty and vinegar taste IMO. also no mention of caballitos? great video very informative.
Man, I was so close to using valentina instead too lmao! I appreciate the feedback!
I discover1800 Reserva Reposado in the 90's and quit doing shots and start sipping - i love the taste!
At 31, I finally decided to give tequila another chance after only having Jose gold when I was younger, and it was always as a shot forced on me. It was vile. I bought Espolon blanco yesterday and surprisingly enjoy it a lot, palomas might be a new favorite drink.
The same video with Vodka would be cool. Most people my age mix it with red bull. A Norwegian friend always drinks one glass of vodka and a seperate glass of Orange juice or water and i have to say that's plain but better than mixing it
new here, finally found a drinking vid that's informative and entaintaining at the same time keep it up man
Fantastic video! Love it when people bring attention to how tequila is supposed to be enjoyed.
Glad you enjoyed Donny! The authentic way is almost always the best way!
I througly enjoy a nice Anejo I tried Espolon last night excellent. I enjoy Los Rios Don Julio I will soon be trying Hornitos black barrel Anejo. As far as glass where I have used both the Glencarian and the Norlan glass.
I’ve tried many tequilas and I did not like Espolòn at all and it actually tasted almost exactly like Josè silver. If you want a great sipping silver tequila go with Patron or Don Julio.
Keep making videos... you got something and you came out the gate with production value. Ima fan and subscriber.
Thanks Clyde! I'll keep grinding!
You're missing the one ounce clamato juice bruh!
However. Your video is the most acurate informative and sound intro to tequila i found. Why does everyone ive seen review tequila hate Jose Cuervo? Jesus! Leave my Cuervo alone. Not going to lie Milagro tequila was my first intro level but Lunazul picked up the mantel for entry lever as of July 18 2023.
That sangrita alone sounds so good
I do NOT touch Jose Cuervo.
Only 100% blue Weber agave for me.
So No hang overs for me.
(LOL you cover all this )
I began drinking it on ice and margaritas, then as I found better tequilas I moved to neat.
Personally I have it in a Canadian whisky glass. But I have enjoyed it in many others.
Espolon was definitely a staple along with Altos!
Anyway always happy to see a great tequila video.
Cheers.
I still love margs hahaha Thanks for watching mate!
i usually don't comment on videos but i noticed you have such few subscribers compared to the quality of your content and wanted to give this video a little boost by interacting. regardless, you showed up my front page so you're definitely doing something right with the algorithm already. anyways, please keep making great content!
You are the homie Rad, I really appreciate the boost! I'll keep grinding!
Love the memes, man. Lotta good booze channels out there, but yours seems to be the funniest
The funniest 😳 Wow! Thank you!
@@SlightlyCultured in a good way! Sorry if that sounded dergatory or some such, not a native speaker here. Cheers from Russia!
@@NitroCerber Yes! I know you meant it in a good way! I was just flattered! Thank you friend, cheers!
Bro you bouta blow up no doubt I thought you atleast had 500k/1 mil
Not yet, but we will get there! Thanks for watching christian!
Too bad you're not doing more videos. I like your style.
In Mexico it’s Banderita red (sangrita) green (lime juice) .. white ( tequila silver)
I'm from Guadalajara, 30 minutes away from Tequila, yes there's a lot of tequila qualities, the 100% agave you usually can drink alone while other tequilas you can get a prepared drinks like the famous Cantaritos, and it will taste good too. You should make a video on Cantaritos
Tequila is my favorite drink to drink straight. I don't drink it with training wheels, just straight up. I like watching other people make "the face" when they take the shot as I sip mine and enjoy.
Alcohol seems to be more of a challenge than an experience for you. A nice tequila shot flight with candied ginger, orange with cinnamon and of course lime and salt is another excellent way of enjoying tequila.
this is great. i grew up on the crappy tequila, and heard that higher quality ones taste much smoother. found this video. gonna give it a try!
Hey dude love your videos and editing style its all amazing and I'm happy to have just subscribed and watching all your vids. Hope more will keep coming!
Super stoked you enjoyed David! They will, just takes some time in between!
Thank you very informative and to the point
Trying some Don Julio Anejo completely realigned my view if tequila. Definitely sipping liquor
Bro keep it up!! You're gonna go so far!!
Sup Aub! Thanks so much, I'll do my best!
ive heard a bunch of buddies of mine hate espolon blanco, but personally its my favorite cheap tequila. i tend to get camarena blanco the most often because of how well-priced it is but espolon has the best flavor of the two.
Haha honestly the harry potter pronunciation thing earned you my sub, can't wait to watch more.
Damn this channel is going to blow up before the end of the year, keep at it bro. Seen your videos thrice already in my feed
I'm gonna keep going Epsellon! I appreciate the encouragment!
"Same shirt, different day!" Relatable, specially if I've had tequila.
Ayyy, love epsolon! Definitely my go-to mid-shelf tequila! Great for mixing in a Paloma too!
Tiny Spanish lesson, if you ever see an N with a squiggle above it, you were supposed to add a Y to the end of that N.
So the proper Annunciation would be “An-ye-ho”
Hey DeepPix3l! I appreciate the tip, now I just gotta remember that next time I speak spanish lmaoo 😅
Thanks for the education!
This channel is fantastic! Thankful for the algorithm today
Me too! 🥺 Super glad you enjoyed!
Great videos man!
I did a consulting job in Guadalajara a few years back for herradura tequila Co and the first two days I was educated about the types of Tequila and the process, Also how to properly drink the fine spirits. You are 100 % right, they stated a fine tequila should be sipped like a fine wine, the Blanco ( young) tequila is ok to mix but you are still wasting the spirit. On a personal note I have tried many fine tequilas but my favorite is Herradura Añejo
Herradura anejo is what I use to convert tequila haters into tequila drinkers. It’s delicious.
Herradura is delicious but is made at the same place as Jimador which is on par with Cuervo as they are both additive laden. Tequila was never a fine drink, it was a drink made for common folk. Look at pulque and its history, its not finely aged wine. It can been enjoyed however the end user wants.
My preferred Sangrita is made with tomatoes, orange juice, lime juice and a selection of onions, peppers, garlic, limes and oranges in a cheese cloth for steeping. If you're like me, it'll be a flavor like you've never tasted and totally awesome.
That sounds super savory!
I like this guys vibe, deserves a like and subscribe
I like your vibe Chubbs 😳
Just you being funny made me subscribe 🍻 cheers man love the channel goes hard
Dope content bro, top tier for sure. Keep it up!
THANK YOU FROM YOUR NEW MEXICAN SUBSCRIBER
20k subs wtf man !!!! Keep it uppp
Great video man, you are gonna blow up soon and I’m looking forward to it for you!!!
I really hope so Jhenny!
Thanks, nicely done! Yeah, people are slowly learning about GOOD tequila... anybody who doesn't like it or has gotten sick has been drinking the crap. The other day I saw a man pick up a bottle of "gold tequila" and almost stopped him but didn't. Now I feel bad... Love that you mentioned sangrita. Yes, no official recipe; I like mine with a tomato base. Spicy Hot V8 works well, because the heat is already in it. Then I use orange juice, lemon, lime, and a little grenadine that I have seen mentioned in a few recipes, maybe add a few shakes of Tajin. There's another tequila now-- cristalino is usually an añejo or extra añejo that has been filtered with activated charcoal in order to remove its color and enhance its fruity and floral character. The result is a clear tequila, similar to a blanco, which also retains the taste and aroma profile of a tequila that has been barrel aged. I had a shot of Herradura cristalino ultra last week that was amazing! Smooth as heck, creamy, with beautiful chocolate notes. Check it out! Cheers from Indiana!
If you don’t have a vodka or spiced rum video would you consider doing those next?
Hey Jonathan! They are definitely on the radar! Thanks for watching!
Lad , do a skillshare course on home bar/ different drinks. I'd sign up.
