Classic car restoration, a shooting range, and a tequila distillery. Throw in Travis’s ‘Q, bring back the DoubleD Blues Club, and Jack’s Ranch would become the next Wall Drug with over 2 million visitors a year.
The DoubleD Almost Dressed Boutique wouldn’t hurt either. Maybe even bring back the annual Texas Machinegun Shoot.
Call it North of the Border, because it would be far superior to South of the Border on I-95.
Hard to beat the Almost Dressed staff at the Double Down…remember my visit there in 2016? Also, you might show that shot to your befuddled visitor if you want him to spark something up with Skye…
Well, you’ve got Jim Beam et al for ‘sippin’ whiskey’
and ‘what the f*ck you lookin’ at?’ Jack Daniels
May as well have ‘last call’ Tequila
as in “border’s closed, go home”
Now if they could make a sweet black rum out of cactus…
I made supper yesterday and my wife asked if it was Chicken Alfredo. I said the romano & parm weren’t from the Alfredo region of Italy so I could only call it Creamy Garlic Chicken…
Texas has a thriving wine region in the Hill Country as well as a few distilleries. I haven’t found anyone making tequila yet…
La Pulga, Fort Worth
El Perro Grande, El Paso
Blanco El Afan, El Paso
Marfa Spirits, Marfa (sotol actually, but so similar to tequila as to be nearly indistinguishable)

Arkay got more of the Texans than I knew were out there. There’s also Blasfemus, which distills agave into something that isn’t mezcal or tequila.
Plant the acreage along the border a half-mile deep in agaves. Mother Nature’s Barb Wire, and easy to follow trail for those who try to hack through it.

A fine single barrel Reposado Tequila marketed by all the available cleavage should do quite well.
a little badunkadunk wouldn’t hurt either

“North of the Border” is a good reminder that there is a border. At least, one hopes there will be one starting in 2025.
You could sell tickets to XIR and its partner’s heads exploding on a regular basis. Just like Old Faithful at Yellowstone.
This last is too far fetched for even DBD Land, but perhaps a tequila befuddled visitor could actually form a stable relationship with Skye?
Nah, never happen….
What do you call a tequila not grown in the designated “you can call it tequila” parts of Mexico?
I don’t know either, but I do know various people are in fact making the stuff already. California, Texas, Arizona. Can’t wait to try them.

A few Texas tequila distillers:

What do ya call it? TEXQUILA, of course.
I tried the Sotol. First bottle was interesting. Second was nasty.
The name will do for now. Long as it tastes good, I’m in.
Hava tequila, hava tequila…
One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.
Have a tequila, have two tequilas, have THREE tequilas! They serve ’em SMALL!
Zar Belk!
“Eat the BLORP!”
“Tequila makes her clothes fall off.”
Seems to me I first read that line,(but in the First Person) here on Day-By-Day!

With a nice blackthorn hedge to mark the edges of the crop.
If the answer is tequila, there’s a good chance you won’t remember the question.
Between classic cars, hot women and tequila, is there any way to bring Sammy Hagar into the storyline?
Why not?? After all……he can’t drive 55!!
I still can’t drive 55…
I don’t care what you call it.
Let’s drink it.
Elon might want to invest in (and partake of) their tequila soon
