Since all great conflicts have their own drinks, we at Urkobold believe that the impending invasion of Mexico (yes, it's a War for Agave) deserves its own cocktail as well. Therefore, we'd like to poll you, Urkobold's terrorized and victimized readership, for your suggestions. The winner will be noticed in passing by the Urkobold, then forgotten forever thereafter. The only rule is that the drink must include good tequila and, if possible, be red, white, and blue.Here's the concept as currently envisaged:
Agave Libre (aka The Imbibertarian)
Ingredients:
- One part pomegranate juice
- One part fine, añejo tequila
- One part Blue Cura
çao - Dash of Cholula or other Mexican hot sauce (to symbolize our righteous anger)

Brilliant!
an Imbibertarian?
Prefiero el Yucateco salsa. Es más caliente.
highnumber,
I'm willing to concede on the hot sauce, provided that it's Mexican. I prefer flavor to sheer heat, myself, though I have imbibed habañero sauces in my time.
VM,
That's a good name, too.
El Yucateco is not just hotter. It has great flavor.
Well, then, I must try it.
What about the drink, anyway? I've also heard that Peach Schnapps could be used for the white, though, of course, only as an addition to the tequila, not a replacement.
On second thought, red, white, and blue may limit us too much. A cuba libre, after all, is Coke colored.
I'll take a nice sipping tequila in a snifter. That's all I need.
Don't ruin our contest. It's not like you have to drink this. Though I must warn you that we may need to creatively dilute our tequila to stretch our supply if Mexico isn't stopped soon.
couldn't we just drink whiskey instead?
(i'm a defeatatarian)
This is why we are in a decline. Sigh. Can't even get up the energy to invade Mexico.
Zeus help me, I'm still at work.
And I need an Imbibertarian.
Did someone call for me?
Oh, never mind.
Go home, man!
Wait, ProtoLib is what, 9 days old?
Bah, work late. The kid's got hardly any upside yet. Work straight through the next 3 months, then go home.
Too late, I'm home. I need my Proto Libertate fix, anyway.
How about some mint?
Mint & tequila?
It doesn't sound good.
highnumber,
I would agree with you, but at a recent trip to Roy Yamaguchi's restaurant in Tampa, I had a mojito that used tequila instead of rum. I don't know the exact recipe, but here's what the menu says:
Pomegranate Patron Mojito
Tangy Pomegranate puree freshly shaken with Patron Silver Tequila and mint.
It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up :)
oh yeah
There are some great Chicago films, and that one is definitely in the top ten. Blues Brothers is number one, incidentally. No, that's not debatable.
Compulsion
The Package
Some Like It Hot (soundstage)
In Old Chicago
The Front Page
Running Scared
The Fugitive
Risky Business
The Untouchables
St Valentine's Day Massacre
just to name a few others :)
Yes, Ferris is probably number two.
