The first time that I tasted a Dos Equis was in 2000 in Cancun on my Senior Trip.

We were the only group of “kids” on Senior Trip who didn’t have chaperones and when the van from our hotel came to pick us up, they brought coolers full of ice and beer. How’s THAT for airport shuttle service?

There were two options in those huge coolers: Corona and Dos Equis. I had heard of Corona [my uncle used to say that Mexicans piss in Corona] but had never heard of Dos Equis so I chose it since I didn’t feel like drinking urine that early in the day.

I’m not a lover of beer. The taste of it doesn’t appeal to me and I can get a bigger bang for my buck by drinking liquor but I LOVE Dos Equis.

“Regular” beer seems watered down to me and if it doesn’t have frost on the bottle then don’t even hand it to me. By the time I get halfway done with the bottle, it’s gone lukewarm and I pour it out. Not the case with my green bottle of goodness.

Also, for me, taste memory is just as strong as scent memory and while I sit here typing this [and drinking my Dos Equis] I can’t help but remember back to that Senior Trip and dancing on a bar in Mexico.

Good times, guys. Good times.

Dos Equis: Just Like Old Times

Since none of us were 21, the alcohol either had to be consumed or poured out prior to us heading back to the states. So…we drank it. All of it. And this was a really, really big bottle.

Being the adventurous youngsters that we were, we decided to make every kind of drink that we could find that contained Kahlua and this one was our favorite.
