Each year for Cinco de Mayo, tequila flows at bars and restaurants across the country. But Americans are pretty fond of the agave-based drink the other 364 days of the year, as well.
The biggest muscles in showbiz have a serious penchant for tequila. Nobody quite understands how Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson manages it. While 2017 saw The Rock’s 40,000 lbs mobile gym get a mention from Men’s Health, headlines in recent years have been more focused on this wrestler-turned-actor’s business ventures.
You know when you’re having one of those nights, usually a couple drinks in, and a sort of magic takes over and the momentum starts building, and it’s clear that you’re going to have increasing amounts of fun for the rest of the night and maybe forever? And every decision you make is brilliant and inspired, including putting tequila in your coffee? That’s what happened to me.
The Sazerac Company has released a line of “fortified wine beverages” that look like assorted liquors, without the flavour or… the liquor of those real spirits. The labels on each of those bottles imitate the iconography and typefaces of more familiar brands of booze, which is why they’re causing double-takes in US states where hard liquor is only sold in ABC stores.
The Rock doesn’t catch many “L’s,” but after taking a shot at starting his own tequila brand, he was left with a bitter taste in his mouth.
ose Cuervo is apparently here to make all our dreams come true. The beloved tequila brand now has an all-you-can-drink train experience, so you can sip (or throw back shots, no judgement) to your heart’s content on a luxurious express ride from Guadalajara to Tequila, Mexico. So, yep. Must be heaven.
