and infamous<\/a>) elixir has a rather amusing mythology, be it credited for creating some of the most phenomenal poetry in the world to being blamed for women lowering their standards. But as always, MOLAA keeps it refined\u2014and even with tequila, this part of their code of ethics is not violated so if you\u2019re planning on an evening marked with blurriness and inexplicable proclamations of love toward a stranger, well, you will be asked to at least drink a little water and eat a bit more of the food being offered.<\/p>\nMuch like bourbon\u2014a name which can only be granted to the brown liquid gold is it made in the US\u2014tequila can only be called tequila if it is made in Mexico (though Roger Clyne\u2019s Mexican Moonshine, a fine form of tequila, is actually made in Tequila, Mexico and opts out of the moniker; they are one of the many distilleries being featured at the upcoming event).<\/p>\n
While you sip everything from the common El Jimador to the agavatastic Fortaleza, you are welcomed to explore and meander through what is one of the best collections of Latin American art this side of the border.<\/p>\n
