Ignite your spirit with these magical concoctions

born of the cactus and prayers to the Virgin

Any batch you choose will tingle on the tongue

and linger long after

the lights go down in this sexy cellar

amid a riot of fine anejos, blancos, reposadas

Tiny miracles for the tastebuds,

extracted from the spiky leaf

of the holy blue agave,

aged in ancient wood,

when this potion hits the tongue

it lights a fire in the blood.

sit down, drink up, unwind,

take your spot on Esquina’s

merry go round.

Smooth absolutions

reconstitute your constitution,

increase your adoration,

trigger storms of exaltation,

“You got to burn to shine!”

Buddha said.

A fine tequila will

kickstart a conflagration

in this congregation,

Light a fire in the choir...

you’re not going to heaven

nor bound for hell

just taking a ride

on Esquina’s mezcal carousel,

where secrets spill in this dark cellar

lust and laughter and what comes after.

Nibble on that worm,

WE’LL NEVER TELL!

BLANCO tequilaClear and transparent, Blanco or Plata tequila can be aged up to 59 days after the distillation process. It has the true bouquet and flavor of the blue agave.
