Kosher tequila aims for Cinco de Mayo
The Associated Press

NEW YORK - A New York businessman is launching a new kosher tequila in time for Cinco de Mayo.

Martin Silver says Agave 99 will be on the market in time for the holiday that celebrates Mexico's defeat of French forces on May 5, 1862.

Silver, president of Long Island-based Star Industries, says he wants to satisfy the craze for high-end tequila with one that observant Jews can drink.

Silver says a half-million cases of the 99-proof kosher tequila are being produced at a Mexican plant using methods certified by a rabbi. It will retail for $41.95 a bottle.

The product launch - with Mexican songs sung in Yiddish and Spanish - is set for May 5, but it will also be sold earlier for Passover, which starts at sundown on April 8 this year.

(Now if "someone" could just make a good kosher cigar!)

Sorry Moro, I also think the Indians should have gotten top billing in the French and Indian War. The only time the French ever did something helpful in a war they sat in ships off the coast sipping their wine and eating the cheese.

Well, the French were an actually very valuable help for Americans to gain their independence form the British Empire. Sorry for the threadjack.

kinda my point, but I don't like the French. You know what I like... Well I don't really drink much, but if I did it would be kosher tequila! I wonder if it's as good as kosher hot dogs???

"According to Silver'' - "If I can help the Mexican economy in there times of trouble and give the Jewish people another reason to celebrate then its a home run world wide for everyone."
