I was prepared mentally to have it. So let me describe the experience . It was mid week and did not have too much work for the next day . It was about 8pm and met my colleague JL and his colleague in the lobby of the hotel . They have an exquisite bar and we just "attacked" the place.
So i first learnt about the process - learnt about the different types of Tequila - 3 types - 1st type - its fermented for a really long time and supposed to be exceptionally good , 2nd type - fermented for a shorter duration of around maybe 5-10 years and called Reposado and 3rd type - kinda fresh stuff and might not impress you if your trying it for the first time! Seeing the prices, we went for the Reposado variety.
Tequila , Margerita (tomato juice in other words) , Lemon and other side items were ordered . And the stage was set . ( Mind you ,every freaking picture of this experience was clicked . Gonna follow soon mate! ) Squeezing the lemon , followed by tasting the Tequila and then drinking a bit of Margerita was part of the "Best Practices" and I duly followed it . A tinge of burning sensation in my food pipe and a want to gulp down more tomato jucie followed by "what did you feel , tell us " expressions from my colleagues were roughly what followed! It was one hell of an experience and definitely something that I will remember for a long time! Only after effect was that next day morning , I had a slight headache.
Pics show - a better view of what we were going to drink , the setting for the evening , all the other finer details !
