It is officially the season of the Gemini! My favorite for many reasons, but mostly because I am a Gemini. Gemini, of itself, is a celebration of pairs, dynamic duos, the Ying and the Yang, and so on.
Gemini are famously known to have a two-sided personality: sweet & sour, angel & devil, nice & nasty, which I affectionately call "Nysty." Occasionally, we live a paired lifestyle such as owning two cars, two phones, two…whatevers. Let's not forget being double-fisted at a party like when you lose a drink, so you get a new drink, then being pleasantly surprised when you find the original drink. The duo instinct kicks in and you trot off double-fisted. Maybe being double-fisted with a cocktail isn't a Gemini thing, it's a Lush thing? Good times!
When I think of the spirit that people shy away from, or hesitate to drink, or calculate the possibility of a night full of regrets before taking even just one sip; it's tequila. Why does this spirit bring out the "other side" of someone's personality? Let's assume the "other side" is the little devil Yang. When tequila is being offered, people typically say "oh no you do NOT want to see me on tequila!" or tease "oh I got a story from the last time I drank tequila..." Listen, if you're going to act like an ass when drinking tequila, then no is the right answer. By all means, stay on the straight and narrow beer walk or rum run. However, if you're going to treat me to a night of entertainment and give me something to give you shit about the next time we're drinking, then hell ya I wanna see the show!
I say all that to introduce tequila to the Lush Lounge; my new little virtual corner of exploration. Tequila in celebration of the Gemini, is a favorite in rotation and commonly misunderstood like the other side of my Gemini personality. What do we know about tequila? To start, there are varieties based on regions and age, some are best to sip while others are better with a mixer, some are worth the top shelf price and others are the bottom of the bottom. Why does it bring out mischievousness? Well I don't know officially the answer, but I can say if you have the right grade and enough of it, anyone will have the perfect cocktail to lead to all kinds of regrets for some and entertainment for others.
Cheers!
