My friend Dani is visiting from Mexico and he introduced us to a delicious alternative for doing tequila** shots. Take an orange wedge and sprinkle some freshly ground cinnamon onto the wedge. Pour yourself and some friends shots of chilled anejo or reposada tequila, take the shot and then eat the wedge of orange.
Buen Provecho!
**FoodNoteworthy - Look for 100% Agave. 100% is made only from the Agave plant while others are distilled with other ingredients. Another recommendation from Dani. Thanks Dani.
This is a delicious way to enjoy good tequila. Everyone knows about lime and salt, but very few people are hip to this tastier alternative. The cinnamon/orange go very well with the tequila after taste, and leaves a pleasant taste in your mouth. Be careful not to over-do it, which can happen easily due to the excellent combination. Make sure to buy GOOD 100% Blue Agave tequila, or your results may vary.
