The Tequila Trail hits Atlanta

If variety is the spice of life, then selecting from over hundreds of tequila varieties is the whole dang spice cabinet of life. We've put together a quintet of five hot agave spots -- all you've got to do is work out when you're gonna get over there.

Bone Garden Tequila Club

Bone Garden Tequila Club
Tequila Bona Fides: 50 bottles, including a barrel aged beast called Fatass Anejo. Because it's wide with flavor.
Quick Bite: The Puerco Azteca tamale. Do it.

The Diabilito at Mar

MAR
Tequila Bona Fides: 40+ tequilas bolstered by devilish house infusions -- por ejemplo, the Diabilito, featuring blood orange sour, serrano'd tequila, and a chili-lime rim.
Quick Bite: The foie gras empanada. Because foie gras empanada.

Mi Cocina

Mi Cocina
Tequila Bona Fides: 30+ tequilas and a dozen margaritas headlined by the Mambo Taxi -- famous around Dallas for being consumed by just about anybody who's famous in Dallas.
Quick Bite: Bacon-wrapped shrimp brochettes stuffed with jalapeños & jack cheese.

The Calibre 50 at Moderna

Moderna
Tequila Bona Fides: 40+ tequilas never go out of style. Cocktails like the Calibre 50 (agave nectar, orange, and Angostura bitters) will ensure you're not just hanging on the wall.
Quick Bite: The steak salad, because it's a salad, but really it's a steak.

Mezcalito's Devil Water

Mezcalito's Cocina and Tequila Bar
Tequila Bona Fides: 35+ tequilas are shored up by experiments like the Devil Water in the photo above, which is infused with ten kinds of peppers.
Quick Bite: The chilaquiles, which is a tortilla lasagna. Mexican Garfield approves.
