HOW TO DRINK TEQUILA (THE AUTHENTIC WAY) | Slightly Cultured 

GET SOME TEQUILA FOR YOUR FINE SELF:drizly.sjv.io/6bg6yQ

I was shocked to see only 100 subscribers (new sub btw), your production, editing, speaking, etc is very high quality. Can't wait to see more of you in the future!

Unpretentious, practical, accessible, and an endearing presentation. It's just like the drink! Thanks for sharing.

Honestly, I thought I hated tequila until I tried a quality one. Bought a ~$55 bottle of a reposado. It brought out such nice flavors that really deserve to be sipped and enjoyed. I'll also make it into a sort of old fashion with: 2 oz tequila of choice, a barspoon of agave nectar, 1-2 dashes of orange bitters, garnished with an expressed orange peel. It's a refreshing way to wind down!

All my family is from Jalisco and the authentic way to drink it is to drink it how you want to. Try Centenario. Cheers

Keep up this production an I easily see you having over a million subs an have brands reach out to you for sponsored vids

As a bartender, I have plenty of recipes to last me for the rest of my career. These are the videos that are genuinely needed to help my improve. Working as a run of the mill bartender is all recipe memorization for the most part, but once you begin crafting cocktails and catering to guests on an individual level knowledge like this really changes the game and can totally make an impact with customers, thank you so much for all of these I’ve watched all your vids twice and can’t wait for more

Thank you! I steered so clear of tequila as a young 20 something because of the drinking/party culture around it and then decided to give it (Patron Silver) a go at a bartenders recommendation. And I love it. I'm not a fan of most alcohol. I'm an avid taster but never found "my alcohol genre" until tequila. It's amazing how similar it is to drinking a good whiskey! It's like writing off the entire world of whiskey because I had only seen and tasted fireball! Very excited to get my hands on the barrel aged varieties. I would love to see how the aging alters the flavor profile.

Something to keep in mind: The ñ in Añejo breaks down to two sounds (an 'n' sound and a 'y' sound). A syllabication would be something like An-ye-ho. I thought I was on a 100k sub channel with the quality, keep it consistent. This is good stuff. Also, glassware isn't talked about as much but it does enhance or detract from the drinking experience (whether it's water or juice or booze)

Glad you touched on sangrita and that salt and lime is still used in Mexico. Some of my favorite memories in Mexico are sitting around a table with friends in chill restaurants with bottle service including stemmed tasting glasses with salt and lime.

sipping quality Tequila in a nice scottish glencarin glass is the best.

The grand spanking majority of us mexicans actually drink our tequilla in shots; or we mix it into something. Even the high end stuff.

It makes sense once you think of it just like a whiskey, there's unaged unoaked whiskey (silver), and aged whiskey (anejo)

so happy to be here and subbed at 12k cause i KNOW this channel’s gonna blow up! you got a great personality and your editing is top notch. keep it up my guy, i’m here for it! 💜

Damn, you started showing up in my recommended, and I didn't realize you had such a low sub/view count! This is such a high quality, I thought you would be up there with channels like How To Drink and Cocktail Chemistry! Great stuff, keep it up! Glad I could be here to see you at such an early stage!

Great to see this channel really kicking off! This is the hidden gem of youtube that's about to be not-so hidden! Keep up the fantastic videos :)

Thanks for the education on tequila. Great video. I'm a new to tequila and I appreciate all of the good videos out there that help me to learn what is good to drink and what to avoid. I look forward to watching more. Thanks!

Love the videos hope to see more from you and continue with more "The authentic way" vids learning a lot the editing , style and the memes are great.

Hey dude love your videos and editing style its all amazing and I'm happy to have just subscribed and watching all your vids. Hope more will keep coming!

The attack on titan sped up soundtrack is worth a follow

This man is going to end up at 100k subs. I want you all to see this and remember what I say because the algorithm has BLESSED THIS MAN

Subscribed! I personally had a really bad experience with Tequila back in my college days, so I was put off by the stuff for the longest time. However, after a few sessions with my cousin who is a Tequila fan, I was able to get my bearings and re-evaluate Tequila properly. Currently enjoying a glass of Centenario Blanco 100% Agave Tequila now. Cheers!

I'm a huge Tequila fan! Your video provided great info. Love your sense of humor!!

Que tal amigo, excelente video, muy bien explicado, congratulations from Mexico!

Your videos are great, I just started the video but you have me hooked man, hope to see a lot from you man

The production value of this channel made me think it had easily 10x the subs. While non of my friends like this kind of stuff, I will drop a sub and point people your way if an opportunity arises.

Keep making videos... you got something and you came out the gate with production value. Ima fan and subscriber.

new here, finally found a drinking vid that's informative and entaintaining at the same time keep it up man

Every experienced drunk I know has switched over to tequila, it's clean, it's tasty, it doesn't burn, it doesn't make you hungover. I believe it's a superior spirit. People love to bemoan tequila they drank in college. It makes my eyes roll.

Omg this is great! I could never tolerate drinking tequila straight but paired side by side with the sangrita is fking fantastic! You sir, earned yourself a sub!

I loved the video! I don't doubt you are 100% right that is the right way; though from what I have experienced the must normal ways are in a Paloma, shots, or straight with a beer as a chacer. Defenitely you got my sub, looking forward to learn about other drinks

Used to work in a few bars quite some time ago and the 100% Agave thing was one of the biggest things that changed my stance and outlook on tequila. Growing up being a teen or young adult at parties, usually IF tequila was there it was Jose Cuervo garbage and once in a while somebody would bring Patron because it was the rappers drink of that time. I learned there wasn't just blancos and that too really changed things for me. The first Anjeo and Reposado's I had completely changed my views on the taste. I generally prefer Anjeo tequila's with Don Juilio being one of my favorites, but for a good party tequila most Reposado's work just fine for it as well as making good cocktails.

Dope content bro, top tier for sure. Keep it up!

I love Espolon as my go-to, well priced and great tasting Tequila. When I drink it I will put one single medium sized ice cube in a rocks glass, 2oz tequila, a squeeze of lime, and 1/4oz home made simple syrup.

I was in a local dive bar in Mexico and the bartender recommended sangrita with good tequila. I still use the recipe he served/told me about: 2 parts tomato juice, 1 part orange juice, as much fresh lime juice as you like, plus a generous helping of cayenne pepper. I loved it and it's still my favorite drink pairing. I am going to try this one too, it sounds great.

Just you being funny made me subscribe 🍻 cheers man love the channel goes hard

The way you said “delightful” you are 100% invited to the carne asada and you reminded me of the amigos in Mexico sitting at a bar sipping on tequila the right way.

There’s also Cristalino. So 5 types. Also another big factor in the quality of 100% Agave tequila is the cooking methods. There is a huge difference between a tequila that uses stone brick ovens and a tequila that uses a diffuser. So not all 100% agave tequila are the same quality. Generally stone brick oven is the best method for cooking. Check us out! Una Vida Tequila 🤘🏼

Would love to see a rum episode in the future!! :)

When I switched from 1800 and Jose Cuervo to Epoalon, it completely changed how I drink. It is now one of my favorite spirits to drink neat along side my assortment of whiskey and gin

Great video man, you are gonna blow up soon and I’m looking forward to it for you!!!

I'm definitely expecting to see your subscriber numbers shoot into the sky. Great videos man.

Great video this Is exactly what I tell people who haven't had authentic tequila

Damn this channel is going to blow up before the end of the year, keep at it bro. Seen your videos thrice already in my feed

I'm from Texas and you gave an appropriate breakdown of Tequila drinking! I am subscribing because of the bottle of Soju in the background.

Great videos man!

I absolutely love espolon tequila, it deserves more attention. The flavours are so pronounced I normally enjoy it without lime

20k subs wtf man !!!! Keep it uppp

Love this video 👏🏼

Glad I was able to find this guy before he hit 1K subs, after watching all his vids I can tell he’s gonna grow really fast.

Thank you very informative and to the point

Hey, great channel! Talk about Cachaça, it is a awesome spirit. Cheers from Brasil!

Fantastic video! Love it when people bring attention to how tequila is supposed to be enjoyed.

Great choice of Tequila...very smooth!

this is great. i grew up on the crappy tequila, and heard that higher quality ones taste much smoother. found this video. gonna give it a try!

Haha honestly the harry potter pronunciation thing earned you my sub, can't wait to watch more.

I'm a mexican and honestly even I wasn't aware of this much stuff. My friends and I just drink it mixed with mineral water and limes or drink it straight for shots

yo good vid. I have had that outro problem so many times lmao

My man made his own sangrita. I’m so proud

Bravo man! Just subscribed and I’m excited to see you grow 🤙🏻

Bro keep it up!! You're gonna go so far!!

Thanks for the education!

That was really a cool presentation :)

Thanks for the info, I had no idea I have been drinking inferior Tequila. Very interested in trying out the good stuff 👍

Great video mate

This channel is fantastic! Thankful for the algorithm today

This is a fun way to drink !! I put some salt in the sangrita as well.

Great video! You gotta try Fortaleza if you haven't, it is my favorite tequila along with Cascahuin. Top 2 imo.

I did not know this, love this channel

Lmao your editing is so good 🔥

I take two shots of espolon. ice cubes, then shake them together. nxt I take a freeze cup and add 3 shots of LIME seltzer. I add the shaken iced espolon into the seltzer and then I slightly twirl a metal ice rod (metal chop stick in freezer) and stir the mix gently. It's perfect! gives me those perfect notes of agave without being to blanco straight distilled harshness. perfect for sipping.

Another thing to note is even the 100% agave ones can have a ton of additives. Just much less than mixtos. Casamigos and clase azul are examples of tequila that still have a lot of additives

Just bought Espolon Reposado to celebrate coming New Year, and i hope that it's not fake and actually came from Mexico, because i live in... Russia! :D Thanks for guide, dude! But please tell me storage conditions - is it better to keep bottle in room or in fridge?

I enjoyed this video.

Ayyy, love epsolon! Definitely my go-to mid-shelf tequila! Great for mixing in a Paloma too! Tiny Spanish lesson, if you ever see an N with a squiggle above it, you were supposed to add a Y to the end of that N. So the proper Annunciation would be “An-ye-ho”

Espolon is one of my favorite tequilas! Great content! Subbed.

"Same shirt, different day!" Relatable, specially if I've had tequila.

yes that was stupid,but it worked lol!!!!!i subscribed in less then 10 sec.... amazing video!!!!!!!

Thank you, I learned something new

This was good brother.

I througly enjoy a nice Anejo I tried Espolon last night excellent. I enjoy Los Rios Don Julio I will soon be trying Hornitos black barrel Anejo. As far as glass where I have used both the Glencarian and the Norlan glass.

This is solid info, thanks

nice educational content! long time whisky only drinker here trying to diversivy

Thanks man!

Hey! I saw a bottle of chartreuse advertised online then found out it was a pretty unique liqueur but is pretty pricey, would u do a video so I don’t have to buy it?

The same video with Vodka would be cool. Most people my age mix it with red bull. A Norwegian friend always drinks one glass of vodka and a seperate glass of Orange juice or water and i have to say that's plain but better than mixing it

Ever since I got into tequila the bottle sit at room temp and I just pour my repo into a glencairn or something similar and sip neat. Love tequila ocho G4 and casa noble at the moment.

Does anybody know a substitute for grapefruit? I'm a tad allergic and would love to try this

Tapatio is my favorite hotsauce. Love it on plain lays

Anytime drinking tequila I always paired it with pickle juice. whether I was chasing with it or just sipping on it between tequila sips, it always paired super well with whatever tequila I had.

I laughed hard.Great video

At 31, I finally decided to give tequila another chance after only having Jose gold when I was younger, and it was always as a shot forced on me. It was vile. I bought Espolon blanco yesterday and surprisingly enjoy it a lot, palomas might be a new favorite drink.

Learned from my brother in law about high quality sipping tequila. Changed my world.

I love that Espolon Blanco! Great price great taste. Harder to get though up here in the North (Canada).

I wanna hear more mostly about the other things 9n the speed rack. I.need to study!!

Bro you bouta blow up no doubt I thought you atleast had 500k/1 mil

Just wow! I never really was a fan of a Bloody Mary but there’s just something about this drink that stands out! I think it’s the addition of all of the other citrus juices. But damn I’m a fan! And thanks for the education on the tequila. I went and bought that exact bottle and it’s given me a new respect for tequila!

I drink tequila from the bottle in an ally behind 7/11 in the brown paper bag from the liquor store, is this the traditional way to drink it?

i usually don't comment on videos but i noticed you have such few subscribers compared to the quality of your content and wanted to give this video a little boost by interacting. regardless, you showed up my front page so you're definitely doing something right with the algorithm already. anyways, please keep making great content!

I'm heading to Mexico (a resort) in the near future, any brand name Tequilas I should be looking for in particular? Are there any to specifically watch out for and avoid?
