Baja Fogs: They’re very…effective.

These are probably one of the tastiest, most dangerous drinks in the world. Introduced to me by fellow b5media’er, Tris Hussey, (he learned it from a friend named Linzy), I’ve now taught two different bars this drink.

People shudder when I describe it to them, imagining something that’s just too over the top, and yet, once they have it, they realize exactly how good these really are.

We were at the Kingston Hotel (the scene of the crime from the night of the Cold War Shots) and taught the bartender how to make these:

Essentially, you take a Corona, and very very carefully pour 1 ounce of tequila into the neck of the bottle. To serve, balance a lime carefully on top of the bottle.

In preparation to drink this concoction, squeeze some of your lime juice into the neck of the bottle. It should end up looking like this:

If you’ve got it right, you can actually see where the tequila ends and the beer begins.

Finally, the best part. The Drinking part.

Much like doing a shot of tequila, you’ve got to shoot the first ounce, but it’s like tequila that comes with a built in chaser! There’s none of that sort of coughing, burning sensation that so many people get from tequila.

The rest of the beer will have a bit of lime and tequila flavour which is really quite nice.

Warning however, one friend while drinking them said they were “soooo good!” and then the next day he commented that they weren’t good, they were “effective”. These are dangerous drinks.

I know these go by other names as well. If a Baja Fog tastes as sweet to you by another name, let me know in the comments!
