See this bottle? This is a bottle of happiness. It is an elegant, curvaceous bottle, wonderfully decorated, and completely unique. And inside, more wonderfulness. Inside you find Clase Azul Reposado, and for my money, this is as good as tequila gets. It is a little bit spicy, and warm and buttery—and therefore, exceptionally smooth. If you already like tequila, you will love this tequila. And if you are tequila shy, this tequila will talk you out if it.
This tequila is not inexpensive. But they make a little two-shot bottle, so you can take a test drive before you commit to a larger one.
Here is my method and my suggestion to you, if you care to try it. Set aside your to-do list. Park yourself somewhere pleasant, maybe with a book, magazine, or an iPod. (If you can find a hammock on a warm day, that's the best.) Now, SIP a shot of this tequila, slowly. (I nurse one for about 20 minutes.) Drink some cool water while you're at it. I follow that with an ice cold Pacifico—not because you need to chase the shot, but simply because it's a really nice combo. You don't need lime and salt, either. A slice of orange is far more appropriate.
Then, take a nap. Bueños sueños.
