How To: Make $5 Tequila Taste Like Patron

Aside from fantasizing about many, many taste-numbing shots of cheap tequila, magic, Harry Potter and much enhanced frat parties, I think you'd want to know what the secret is. The answer, surprisingly, is a berry.

Franz Aliquo tells the New York Times about the Miracle Fruit, a berry that actually rewires your taste buds and makes sour and bitter foods taste sweet for an hour after consumption. At Aliquo’s Miracle Fruit party, guests found that after consuming the berry, limes tasted like candy, vinegar resembled apple juice, and goat cheese tasted like cheesecake.

What this bizarre and magical fruit can do for the realm of college parties is amazing—imagine a world where Natty Light filled kegs will taste like the finest Stella Artois and barely defrosted chicken wings will melt on the tongue like filet mignon. Mmmm….

The funniest part about this story is that Patron is a cheap tasting Tequila. Compared with other Premium Tequilas, Patron has little agave flavor and tasted head to head would lose every time. Patron might want to include this miracle fruit to enhance their product. Marketing has served them well. Posted 06/02/2008 4:16 PMReply
