Well, first of all: All Tequila is Mezcal, but not all Mezcal is Tequila...

Secondly. Cuervo sucks.

Thirdly, those damn mexicans keep all the good stuff for themselves!!!

My personal favourite is Cazadores (any of them though the Aņejo is smokier. The Reposado is the bomb. I hope to try a few additional decent local tequilas when I am down there in February for work. My favorite way of drinking it is sipping it straight up with a shot of pure lime juice on hand as well as a shot of sangrita to sip alternately as well.
