While whiskey can make beer - especially a lager - better, tequila definitely makes it worse. I'm glad to have tried it but I won't be having it again anytime soon.
Bitters of the Month
We tried the plum bitters as a substitute for Angostura in a Manhattan. There was a mere hint of something different in the aftertaste and in the aroma. Basically, I think it would do in a pinch but isn't really worth keeping in the regular rotation.
I guess I'm going to have to try these weird drop drinks at some time. I just don't quite get it, though.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried anything new in a few weeks. I've been on my Hondo cocktails. But I suppose I should get back to exploring and experimenting.
I'll be honest, for me it was a good way to work through some otherwise uninteresting beer. I'm not a big fan of lagers, pilsners and the like. Whiskey improved the flavor. Tequila did not.
DeleteI don't think I'll try this. I don't like beers.
ReplyDeleteI can't say I'd recommend this combo anyway.
DeleteDoes the shot glass ever hit you in the nose ? So funny Son was drinking tequila today. it is bad stuff the hangovers are wicked. So I have been told.
ReplyDeleteHa! With the particular angle, I'd worry more about chipping a tooth.
DeleteSomeday, I will explore tequila more. It is a substance with which I associate particularly poor choices in my youth. But I'm a more sophisticated drinker now.
This combo, however, will not play a role in the exploration.
Submarino is a very cool name though.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
DeleteOn your recommendation, I won't be ruining any tequila!
