Depends on if he runs out of ingredients the first day like in St Clair:) :) :)

Depends on if he runs out of ingredients the first day like in St Clair:) :) :)

he better not he invited a lot people to stop by :03:

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

I am bringing my favorite ingredients from home in my cooler in my truck. I usually make about about 5 at a time. I often make 3 for myself. I can't drink and carry 4 very well. I think it is wrong not to have a few in hand to share with my friends.


That is all I can offer as a clue.

[Ratickle]

What day are you arriving, and what day are you leaving? Then I can decide if you have enough ingrediants.....:sifone:

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

I plan on arriving and Starting by Noon Friday. We may race both days so there will be some down time. Sunday after the race will resume. Leaving early AM Monday.

[Ratickle]

So that gives you 10 hours Fri, 6 hours Sat, and 7 hours Sun. If you drink one per hour, and give away 4 per hour, that's 115 drinks. At 3 oz per drink of Tequila, that's 345 oz's. Works out to 2 3/4 gallons.......:sifone:

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

It seems high. Butcha never know.

Who is going to help?

[Ms PatriYacht]

Jim you owe me one in Key West, each time I came by you rig in St Clair no one was home:( Good luck and race safe

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

Donna, I am sorry to have missed you. Not sure if I will make KW.

Thanks and we will.

[Trim'd Up]

It seems high. Butcha never know.

Who is going to help?

I will definitely help drink them!:sifone: What kinda tequilla do you prefer? I will bring a bottle. Patron work? That way, I'll be easy to recognize, I'll be carrying a bottle of tequilla.:26:

[Ratickle]

It seems high. Butcha never know.

[Tommy Gun]

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

Sauza Tres Genaraciones Is excellent

as is Herradura Seleccion Suprema

Budget don't bother trying any of them.

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

Iron Cactus Tequila Bar list:

41670

[Ratickle]

I was more curious from the standpoint of "Overpriced". They say the "Patron" is "Top Shelf" for instance, but "Ultimate" priced.

What are the value ones?

[Trim'd Up]

Sauza Tres Genaraciones is top notch, Cabo is pretty good as well as Patron. I don't care for Don Julio much, I would rather drink Jose for less money.

[Ratickle]

And I have to see if I can find some "El Jimador".....:sifone:

Gotta try that one........:)

[Tommy Gun]

And I have to see if I can find some "El Jimador".....:sifone:

There is a restaurant by that name at LOTO...perhaps U can find it there?

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

I have tried and don't find anything special about Patron. I think it is just a marketing thing. I too would rather drink Cuervo Gold.

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

There is a restaurant by that name at LOTO...perhaps U can find it there?

Iron Cactus or El Jimador?

[Trim'd Up]

El Jimador is in Osage Beach (LOTO). I think there is one in Jeff City too.

[Ratickle]

If it's good, I'm going to refer to Mercman as "El Jimador" from now on.....:sifone:

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

Is that Spanish for The JimBob?

[imco offshore]

how about MEZACAL ( it has the worm in it) when your done drinking it anybody will eat the worm. paul call me ?

[Ratickle]

I called and left a message with both my numbers. Will try again in the AM.



lookin for El Jimador.......:sifone:

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

You call?

[Ratickle]

See, he already answers to it. I better be able to find some. And it better be good.

What about in Texas? Ever seen it there????

[Ratickle]

http://www.tequila.net/tequila_reviews/joven_-_mixtos/el_jimador_tequila_reposado.html

[Ratickle]

Or,

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

I tried all the anejo's in the list I posted.




I found my favorite Herradura

pronounced Hey ra doo ra

[Ratickle]

I didn't see El Jimador on there under the Anejo's?

[phragle]

Just an FYI... Hussongs was mentioned as top shelf... I have been to Hussongs cantina many times, in fact they actually invented the Margarita, named after the woman it was concocted for, the daughter of the German ambassador... Hussongs is also the oldest existing cantina in the california's.

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

I am bringing Reposado . Chad is bringing a bottle of Anejo. I think anejo is for sipping not mixing. As it is now they are Top Shelf and generally a 16 or 20 dollar drink in a bar. Anejo only goes up from there.

I think we should be covered. I have my truck I will take the left overs home. So if you what bring it. It will be a full blown Tequila Bash.

I hope we have some help.

All here are welcome.

Where's the closest liquor store to Toad's??????

[Ratickle]

Tequila of the Month
Product 7/10



El Jimador Tequila 750ml

$16.99
Rated 94 Best Buy Wine Enthusiast. This is 100% barrel aged for 3 months in white oak casks imported from Kentucky. The wood gives a delightfully smooth finish when sipped straight and brings out the flavor of Mexico when mixed in a cocktail.

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

Paul, The wood is what I don't like about patron.

Kentucky is whiskey country. What do they know about Cactus juice?

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

Why of course you are free to explore yourself.:)

I still have the bottle of Anejo. :( I wish I would have made it up to meet you guys. I watched the action from the boat on Saturday, but ended up leaving that night for home. The GF's mom had to have surgery Sunday morning. I did have fun running the boat after the races though, and passed a hell of alot of bigger boats than mine on the way back to the condo. ;)

I will count them remaining cups... Saturdays race interfered with drinking. The various door men were soon on to the blue cups.

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

Official count.....65 cups remaining. 1 is in cooler for mixing. 34 drinks shared. 90% of them were on Friday. A few Saturday afternoon and fewer Sunday. Happy Hour Sunday Robin was mixing them.. Paul talked her into making them our way. She was a good sport. She must have made a couple dozen.

There are numerous other factors. We have never gone to Key West as a "vacation". Its always working and racing. I am still on the fence.....:willy_nilly:

Amy making friends is a definite plus. If I am not racing I would rather she go too.
