Tequila for Whiskey Drinkers: The Oaxaca Old Fashioned

Let me tell you two reasons why you’re not living up to your full potential:

1. You don’t have Jamie Boudreau’s Pacific Northwest’s Gentleman’s Companion (get it on Amazon or at the bar).

2. You don’t drink enough tequila.

After spotting the Oaxaca Old Fashioned in the above mentioned book, I couldn’t get the idea out of my head. So I ordered one some weeks later. Then I ordered another. What a fantastic drink. This is the sort of thing you’re missing if you don’t have this book. After letting the experts show me how it’s done, I stocked up and have mixed a few of these at home. I’m really enjoying Arrogante Tequila, by the way. I know I have a lot to learn in this category, but I can recommend this whole heartedly. I even like the Blanco, which was a surprise since I usually tend toward the the aged stuff. So there you have it. Get the book. Get the booze. Thank me later. That’s all for now.
