What do AK-47 and Mexico have in common?
If you guessed Tequila, you're right!
BROWNSVILLE Taking shots of tequila has taken on new meaning.
Elaborate glass tequila bottles in red, blue and white shaped like pistols, AK-47s, rifles, machetes and bullets have been surfacing in the Rio Grande Valley in the past year or so.
The bottles in sharp contrast to the clean lines and curves and the rich colors of more traditional tequila bottles have been around for years in Mexico, where they are made.
David Hernandez, founder of the Holiday Wine & Liquor stores in the Rio Grande Valley, said the weapon-shaped bottles appeal primarily to collectors.

(12,132 posts)Warm sake is fun but they do that more to kill the taste of bad sake...at least, that's what I keep hearing on TV. Cold Sake can be served cold because it already tastes good - but low end sake needs to be heated up - I dunno about "impurities" but if that's a euphemism for taste then it sounds about right from what I've seen on the Food channel...
