Get Your Drink On with Casa Dragones!

Due to my recent slow in travel activity, I figured it would be behoove me to start incorporating various, amazing products from all over the world that are a MUST to check out and try.

Todays product: CASA DRAGONES!!!

Casa Dragones is 100% Blue Agave Joven Tequila. There are multiple reasons why you need to know about Casa Dragones. If you'd like to keep up with what the cool people are doing, you should know that artisanal tequilas are making a huge presence in bars and restaurants around the world.

Side Note: I am not speaking of the "mixto" tequila that is usually thrown into margaritas at Cabo Cantina (which consist of added coloring and cane sugar). Artisan tequilas are made to be sipped, as the Mexicans intended. If you're adverse to sipping tequila, then you have not tasted the smooth, soft finish of an artisan tequila. Harsh aftertaste, you ask? No way, Jose!

The best part about Casa Dragones is that it's produced in small batches. It is also harvested in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico which is the finest region for tequila to be distilled. This means that agave plants grown to produce this fine liquor are the best in the world. Think of it as a fine wine, grown in the best region of France. The agave plants are hand selected by Casa Dragones' "Maestro Tequilero" to ensure every batch is of utmost quality.

If you are overcome with sticker shock when you encounter (what I consider to be) the best of all Tequilas at $275 a bottle, don't let that stop you from at least trying this delectable Mexican exported gem. There are many bars and restaurants in the US that carry Casa Dragones on their menu. If you live in LA, the Chateau Marmont (in WeHo) sells it for about $12/drink. You can also check the tequila's website for additional stores/restaurants that carry Casa Dragones (casadragones.com)

If you were to ask me to give you a list of things you must try before you die, Casa Dragones would be one. As LeVar Burton said on Reading Rainbow "...you don't have to take my word for it."
