Let’s Go Tequila Tasting
All the very best events begin with tequila, right? Then, this is exactly where we’ll begin, albeit with a twist. We don’t just want you to only taste silver, reposado, and añejo tequila, but rather different types of shots with tequila. A blind taste test is a great idea here. There is so much that you can do with a tequila shot beyond salt and lime, and we have some of the best tequila shot recipes around. These are simple to make and full of flavor. Take turns making the shots and then tasting blindfold to see if you can guess the contents.
Here are some of the best that you could consider mixing up for your night of passion:
