Notes from the crew:
Nichole: Tequila, tequila, tequila….how I love my tequila. I have to give props to El Tesoro Platnium for a well made tequila, but my true love goes to Cuervo 1800 Anjeo. The 1800 has such a smooth, rich and well-rounded taste and finish. The spicy yet sweet flavor warms me up and keeps me begging for more. Don’t mix, don’t even ice it, drink it straight for a fantastic tequila experience. If you need some help, let me know and I will help you taste test
