No thanks. As my wife will attest, I will drink almost anything. But, other than in a margarita, I do not touch te-killya.

Maybe it's because I've never had any good stuff.

I think the difference between good, higher priced tequila and the cheap and/or budget stuff may be the most stark of all liquors. I like a good (relatively) high end glass of bourbon. But I'm happy to drink Buffalo Trace or Makers as well. But cheap tequila is flat out awful. I mean immediately want to throw up awful. However, the higher priced stuff is great.

I used to be like you and avoid tequila like the plague until I had some of the more expensive bottles. Now it is my go to spring/summer drink.

I'm a long standing tequila lover and I have a theory that people who don't like tequila have never had good tequila. It's fricking delicious.

I've actually been pretty drunk before and made an old fashioned using tequila, completely unintentional. It wasn't good. But what is good is a solid tequila reposado or anejo, with a little bit of agave and some salt dissolved in. Doesn't even need ice.

First rule of selecting tequilas: 100% agave.
