Over the years we have accumulated two handles of Tequila given to us at parties at our house. Remember those?? I personally don't like Tequila or Margaritas so there are two bottles (1.75 liters) that have inhabited my liquor cabinet for a long time. So these two bottles have been hogging space in my liquor cabinet when I could find much better stuff to store in there.

I decided to come up with a drink that I might like to get rid of them. After much thought and experimentation I came up with a cocktail that adequately disguised the Tequila. It is simply one ounce of red vermouth, five dashes of Angostura bitters and two ounces of Tequila. Sort of like a Manhattan. On the rocks, of course. It is actually not terrible, but I would never order such a drink at a bar. I decided that it should be called the "Adios Amigo."
