Statistics
- American blended whiskeys are so inexpensive because they only have to contain 20 percent whiskey; the rest can be made up of neutral grain spirits, colorings, and flavorings. (mashed.com)
- If you choose one that's made with 100 percent agave (like Milagro or Sauza), you'll save a ton of money and still get a great-tasting drink. (mashed.com)
- You can simply follow the rule of thumb: $1/beer or wine, $2/ cocktail, and 10-20% for large tabs. (alembicbar.com)
- The tequila should be 100 percent agave, not the cheaper “mixto” products, which blend a minimum of 51 percent agave with other sugars. (cooking.nytimes.com)
