I've tried my share of tequilias, however, Patron silver has to be one of the best (in my opinion) out there. It's smooth crisp taste is really out of this world. I have recommended it to all of my friends and they agree that it is a awesome drink. You can have it as a shot, on the rocks, or mixed in your favorite cocktail. I like to have it in a margarita while enjoying some of my favorite dishes. Tequila, made from the fermented juice of the agave plant, is the national drink of Mexico. It is double distilled and then aged in wood casks. Just like a fine cognac, tequila gets better with aging. Popular brands include Jose Cuervo, Din Julio, Patron and Sauza.
