Dahlia Lounge Little Taste: Tequila and Tacos
So after my virgin mojito at Lola, Becky and I crossed the street to go to this Little Taste event at the Dahlia. They had a taco bar set up complete with the items shown on the menu, however, what is not mentioned on the menu is the heavenly handmade corn tortillas being rolled, pressed and cooked right there too. Mmm. SO good.

Now, onto the tequila: Rob, the Patron rep had many handouts and told us quite a bit about how tequila is made. We tried four different varieties of tequila. And a coffee flavored tequila liqueur. All Patron. All delicious, but some more than others. Gran Patron (at about 200 dollars a bottle) was the best...as it should be at that price. The coffee liqueur was surpisingly good as well. (For better or worse, it was not as sweet nor as coffee-y as Starbucks.) Far better than Kahlua. I'm not willing to say it was better than Starbucks though. (That will require more rigorous testing on my part.)

Then we were forced to try an orange liqueur that they make as well, not tequila-based but designed to complement their tequila in a margarita. After that, again--practically with guns to our heads--we were forced to try some Pyrat rum. (A rum company owned by the Patron folks.) Both of these were very good as well. (I foresee a trip to the liquor store in my future.)

For dessert, I should mention that the churros were served with a warm chocolate-cayenne sauce on the side.

Another tasty and educational evening at The Dahlia.

Salud!
