Absolutely!
You seem to be someone who knows their way around a bar. Any recommendations for tequila brands to taste?
Cheers

Not tequila, per se, but if you ever get a chance to taste “pulque” do so!! They don’t serve women in the pulqueria, but they often have a window out back where a lady can imbibe.
It’s a milky-looking drink-made from the liquid that seeps out of the blue agave when the heart of the plant is removed (like tequila). I think it’s a less-processed drink than tequila-but I know nothing about how it’s made other than what I’ve just said.

Can you describe the taste? Is it similar to tequila? Is it a “thicker” liquid in texture (like Drambuie is to Scotch)?
Curious that pulque not openly served to women. I wonder what the story is behind that?

The taste/texture depends on how far down in the bucket one dips one’s gourd!
Pulque has an ancient history—but it’s looked down upon (much like deep-woods moonshine) by the country’s young folks who prefer beer and distilled spirits.

Sorry!
Although I did complete this goal, I usually simply bought a bottle that wasn’t the dirt cheapest, but wasn’t the most expensive, either.
