So, do I sip it icy cold ... from the refrigerator or the freezer like Grey Goose? I want to have that top shelf experience.
here is a serving primer www.tequilaneat.com/drink.html If you want really good sipping tequila try Don Julio Reposado it has more robust complex taste - Patron Silver is very smooth.
Thanks for all your help guys, I will let you know how it goes.
I will especially let you know if I hear from Adam, but again I will not hold my breath!
I just listened to that last interview and he said " no sweet and sour, no simple syrup..... just lime and tequila and shake it up". There's another older interview where he mentioned various brands...I can't remember which radio station interview that was..there were several DJs...and he mentioned sipping reposados and Clase Azul was one brand he mentioned.

I just bought a 1 liter bottle of Patron in a gorgeous special edition bottle with a pewter bee on it. It's so pretty. Worth the extra little amount of money. I hinted to my husband about the Clase Azul Repasado in the pretty ceramic bottle like Adam had on the plane from Nashville and I have a feeling I might be getting that as Christmas present. Hope so.
I'm not sure exactly how to serve it "Adam style". Once he mentioned lemon juice and in that last interview he said something about lime juice and tequila shaken served up. I've never chilled the tequila. Maybe I need to google the best way to drink/serve it. I have bought and sipped some Patron Repasado and it was really good.
I do not know exactly how Adam drinks his tequila but great tequila is usually served neat -- no ice, no salt and no limes involved. When you go to tequila tastings, they sometimes serve sangrita between tequilas. Ice, salt and lime juice deaden the taste buds.
From Wiki
Sangrita (meaning "little blood"), whose origin dates back to the 1920s, is a customary partner to a shot of straight tequila blanco; a non-alcoholic accompaniment that highlights tequila's crisp acidity and cleanses the palate between each peppery sip. The basic conception of sangrita is to complement the flavor of 100% agave tequila, which is also peppery and citrusy in taste. Before increased worldwide popularity and corporate interest in tequila in the late 1990s and early 21st century, few outside of the Mexican Pacific region bordering the state of Jalisco, where tequila was mainly produced and consumed, knew of the existence of sangrita, and much less its recipe. As popularity grew, so did commercial efforts to recreate the mysterious red, spicy drink that was served with tequila. In fact the drink was not that mysterious. While most outsiders would reference its red make up as tomato juice and spices, locals and traditionalists agree that the one ingredient that most likely doesn't belong is tomato.
A popular recipe in Guadalajara (Jalisco's largest city) was said to have originated from the leftover juices (mainly orange) of an equally popular regional fruit salad covered with fine chilli powder, usually piquin. Link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sangrita
LOL Adamrocks....Yes, it was a little 50ml single serving size of Patron. Those little bottles are so cute. I love the shape and look of the Patron bottles. That big 1 liter bottle that they have at the liquor store right now for the holidays with the huge pewter bee embosed on the front is gorgeous. It's gonna turn into a flower vase after I empty it.

LOL! I got the big size. also. It was on sale at my grocery store. They had it under lock and key with other tequilas and various liquors.lol But I didn't see a pewter bee embossed on it. Maybe that's why it was on sale. I better go back and look.
