My next bottle will probably be Cazadores, though I do have some minis of Patron that's probably a bit too expensive. I've had the Sauza Hornitos before. I wonder if Bill still has his "price vs. quality" tequila list. Well, it’s not regular Cuervo, it’s the Tradicional, which isn’t QUITE as bad…:-)

You should be shot. If you have only one tequila in the world, it should be Sauza Hornitos. There are many other true agave tequilas to choose in this world. Get out there and do it!

Actually I've never broken a bottle yet. Perhaps the bottle was not sitting flat and a small jostle by the cats was all it took to push it over? The other possibility is that some nasty bacteria was in the bottle, maybe feeding on the sugar, and eventually popped the bottle. In which case you're probably lucky you didn't drink it. I think the first explanation is more likely though. I’ve made a LOT of limoncello in my time, and I’ve never had a bottle break due to any pressures from within.
