Espolón Tequila.....mmmmm mmmmmm good!

Espolón Tequila. Never heard of it? Probably because your favorite rapper's  favorite rapper hasn't held it up in his new video....lol. What do they know? Not much other than trends.... What do I know? A fine premium spirit when I taste it. Espolon is where it's at. This is the real deal Holyfield of Tequilas. Smooth with a bite. It's so good it's scary, kind of like the label. Espolón was originally introduced in the US in 2000, but in 2009 Gruppo Campari bought the Espolón brand along with the San Nicolas Distillery, "Best Factory in Mexico",where it is made.

Skyy Spirits, LLC, the U.S.-based wholly owned subsidiary of Gruppo Campari, revamped the brand and markets and represents Espolón in the United States. It was reintroduced in 2010. The label art was "Inspired to the bone, Guadalupe and Rosarita joined Father Miguel Hidalgo in his valiant campaign for Mexican independence from Spain. As depicted in this label's scene - an illustration inspired by 19th century artistry - our couple fought fiercely, and fought with undying passion. As Ramon the Rooster crowed his shrill battle cry, the brave army of revolutionists clashed against tyranny, against the cruel caste system, willing to sacrifice everything for the cause. And although their bold efforts fell short, this movement set the stage for Mexico's eventual independence." Espolón is available in Blanco (silver) and Repasado (gold). Espolón Tequila Blanco has a clear color with a platinum cast. "On the nose are aromas of delicate, sweet agave, floral notes, tropical fruit and lemon zest with a hint of pepper. In the mouth there is a soft feel, light- to medium-bodied palate with bright agave flavor, and notes of pepper, vanilla bean and grilled pineapple. An elegant, clean finish ends with a hint of spice." Espolón Tequila Reposado - "The tequila displays a rich, golden-hued color with aromas of spice, caramel and a hint of chocolate. The expressive nose gives way to a bold, round mouth-feel with a medium-dry, full-bodied palate including rich roasted agave, sweet tropical fruit, and intense vanilla and brown spices. The flavor finishes slowly with a sweet, spicy fade creating a hedonistic reposado with añejo-like wood spiciness." You have got to try this as a shot or in your favorite margarita ASAP! Special shout out to the Intoxicologist, Rah @ http://www.facebook.com/TheEgpytianSunGod for getting me hooked on this fab Tequila! Bottoms up!

Easy and Sleezy.... I don't think so!!!

Does society look at female bartenders as sluts? Does working behind a bar mean you will go home with every Tom, Dick, and Harry? Ummmmm......no. Thats ridiculous! If you are a slut - you are a slut, no matter what professional capacity you work in. I get really tired of men that try me on thit level. Its silly, immature and stupid to think that a profession indicates ones morals. Does being the president mean that you will cheat on your wife? Does having a corporate job mean you snort cocaine in the bathroom stall? Absolutely not. I do understand how ignorant people can be in regards to an alternative career choice, and it's just that. IGNORANT. I do understand how a smile can confuse a man into thinking I am flirting with him. But by no means am I mixing a cocktail in a back alley wearing fishnets. Believe it or not I live a normal life. I'm not a party animal. I'm in a stable relationship, I support myself, own place, own car and a dog. I like to cook, read and crochet. I respect myself and others around me. I have never, ever gone home with a customer or stranger. I'm not on drugs and I shower daily. lol. I enjoy my job because it's fun, challenging, fast paced, unpredictable, good money, and I enjoy meeting new people and putting smiles on their face. The moral of this is no matter what you think you know or what Tiger Woods told you or what the character Thandie Newton played in that terribly made movie, you shouldn't judge people or confine them to certain behaviors. And further more it's really disgusting to try to sleep with everyone anyway.... A man that wants to sleep with a bunch of strangers has alot of looking in the mirror to do. (I don't want your package!)
