Tequila Party?

[inferno0069]

A visit to El Palomar inspired an idea for a party: a tequila-tasting party. That would avoid me having to buy all of these myself. Instead you could bring yourself and a bottle and we can all try them together. I'm not sure yet exactly how we should taste them all, but I'm sure we could come up with something! This is just to gauge interest, and

Some tequilas I selected from BevMo's website along with their ClubBev prices:

Cava Antigua Blanco, $49.99
Don Diego Santa Anejo, $49.99
Don Diego Santa Reposado, $45.99
Don Eduardo Silver, $36.99
Dos Lunas Reposado, $49.99
Gran Centenario Anejo, $57.99
Gran Centenario Reposado, $49.99
Herradura Reposado, $31.99
Reserva del Senor Almendrado (Almond), $21.99
Sauza Anejo Tres Generaciones, $37.99
Tezon Anejo, $52.99

The Tezon is the one I had at El Palomar in a margarita. It was very good.

I'd totally be interested.

I like the idea of bringing my tequila and a set of glasses to serve it in. Then there's no washing or cup reusing.

Ooh, I like the bringing glasses (for those that can) too. Many fewer washing cycles, even if some are required.

If you hold off until April, I'm in ;)

I see no reason it'd have to be before then, and this party would benefit quite a bit from more people in attendance, so I think I will hold off then. ^-^

As for how to taste them all, I'm thinking disposable shot glasses are the way to go:

We'll need some sort of chaser/mouth freshener too, but I don't have a good idea for that. Water might not cut it with so much strong drink.

Neat glasses!

I wonder if this[1] is a good way to taste, or if it's just good for getting drunk.

I love how this idea implies that everybody, on average, drinks one bottle of Tequila :-)

What kind of party would it be otherwise?
