Drink Knowledge - Tequila Slammer

I asked for my first Tequila Slammer (from a bar) on Saturday and at first the barmaid got it wrong. In the end I had to tell her what it was.

But do YOU know what a Tequila Slammer is? Most think they do, but don't.

A Tequila Slammer is not a shot of Tequila with salt and a slice of lemon; that's a Tequila Curda AKA training-wheels.

A Tequila Slammer is actually as follows:

Served in a rocks glass:
- One part Tequila (usually one or two shots).
- One part lemonade/ginger ale/7-Up/Sprite/Mountain Dew. Champagne can be used in the place of these, but in that case the drink is a "Slammer Royale" or "Golden Slammer"

The carbonated drink must be poured into the Tequila so that it does not fizz too much, the carbonate must remain dissolved in the drink.

Once the drink is prepared, cover the glass with your hand (or a piece of card/paper) and then slam the glass down on a hard surface. This is where it gets the name "Slammer".

Housewarming

Right then, Damon and I have decided on a date for our housewarming party. This time it's not short notice. :P

It's being planned for the evening of the 21st February 2009.

Unfortunately as our house isn't really that big we are going to have to cherry-pick (for various reasons) those who are invited. We can comfortably accomodate 8 people other than ourselves, so if you're interested and can make it on that date please leave a comment. We'll get back to you soon after to let you know if you're invited or not.

It'll be BOYB but we will be providing a lot of mixers anyway, and we will have hookah. :D
