We conducted Cinco de Mayo Tequila Tasting Maneuvers with Sommelier Dave and Mixologist Ryan to get you ready to make delicious libations for the day. Also for good measure we’ll make a Mint Julep for the Kentucky Derby. Today we are doing a vertical tasting of Milagro Tequilas including Silver, Reposado, Anejo, Silver Select Barrel Reserve and Reposado Select Barrel Reserve.
