That golden (or silver) nectar from Mexico that\u2019s brought us laughter, a few bad decisions, and some truly questionable dance moves at braais across South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>But tequila isn\u2019t just a one-trick pony. It\u2019s versatile, like a lekker pair of slops that work at the beach and the shebeen. Let\u2019s dive into the three classic ways to enjoy this bold little bottle of joy.<\/p>\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media4.giphy.com\/media\/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExdGlhcTl4bTFrbGd4ejQ4eXhpNWp6aWRvZ3UzejA4NzVzdzhvMThwYiZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw\/3o6wrelX9Suf5Z4fJe\/giphy.gif\" style=\"width:100%\"><\/img>\n\n\t<div id=\"gap-822857244\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-822857244 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<p><strong>The Shooter:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have all been there. It\u2019s Friday night, your cousin\u2019s wedding after-party, and someone yells, \u201cTEQUILA TIME!\u201d Next thing, you\u2019re licking salt off your hand like a confused springbok, knocking back the shot, then sucking on a lemon wedge like your life depends on it. Shooters are for the brave, the bold, and those willing to dance to \u201cJerusalema\u201d barefoot by midnight.<\/p>\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media1.giphy.com\/media\/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExcDFnMzJhZjczODJ3d3ljbXk3bmQ5dmZwMmEyeXQ3cjBoeTZ6N2Z2cSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw\/9KxPbpaazZ0ZO\/giphy.gif\" style=\"width:100%\"><\/img>\n\n\t<div id=\"gap-2076697668\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-2076697668 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<p><strong>The Cocktail:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now we\u2019re getting fancy. Tequila in a cocktail is like a bakkie with mag wheels unexpected but damn cool. Whether it\u2019s a classic Margarita with that salty rim, or a tequila sunrise that looks like it was poured by the Big Five themselves, this is tequila dressed to impress. Ideal for sundowners with the crew or showing off at a jol in Camps Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media4.giphy.com\/media\/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExaWptd3R3MmRmZmxxZzZzbTVpZ3Y1N3hiejUxeml4djNyajQwMTZ1aCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw\/h4CSNqdIooVFEUU9y4\/giphy.gif\" style=\"width:100%\"><\/img>\n\n\t<div id=\"gap-834017427\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-834017427 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<p><strong>The Sipper:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, you read that right. Real tequila (the good stuff, not the \u201cstudent budget\u201d variety) can be sipped like a fine whisky. A\u00f1ejo or reposado tequilas, aged and smooth, go down better than your uncle\u2019s stories about &#8220;the good old days.&#8221; Perfect for chilling on the stoep with a view and some biltong in hand.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>So go on, give tequila the respect it deserves\u2014just maybe not too much respect. You still have to make it to brunch on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2367,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[32],"class_list":["post-2354","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-tequila"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Three Cheers for Tequila: Shooter, Sipper, or Shaken-Up Cocktail?
