Oh good heavens stevie, I so don’t need this! I love tequila! margarita is probably my fav cocktail ever
Fiona, I love tequila too. Casa Noble is a great brand and worth checking out. I love margaritas too!
I am not a tequila fan based on an unfortunate incident about 40 years ago with tequila shots and a trampoline. I am, however, very glad to know about the holiday because it sounds like a day not to drive a car in Austin. Thanks.
I love Casa Noble Tequila my favorite brand and that bloody mary OMG I want one now!
it is such a GREAT tequila isn’t it Adriana? I love it. It’s so smooth. The REPOSADO is amazing. I thought that Bloody Maria looked very tasty. There are other drinks I would put it in. (Like Eggnog at Holiday time!)
