From Terry L.Snyder:
We have one of your cookbooks and love it easy to follow and the food is great. My question is about Tequila I would like a good sipping one without the fire and brimstone and I hate spending a whole lot of money trying some only to water them down . ANY RECOMENDATIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
It sounds to me like a "reposado" is the type of tequila you should be drinking. Reposados are tequilas that are slightly aged and tend to be soft and smooth while retaining some agave characteristics. Oro Azul and Tres Mugeres reposados offer slightly different characteristics. They're both very good sipping tequilas and not very expensive.
