特斯拉将这款龙舌兰酒描述为独家、小批量优质酒，100%采用龙舌兰酿造，在法国橡木桶中陈酿15个月，灌入手工吹制的玻璃瓶中，散发干果和淡淡香草味，还有恰到好处的肉桂胡椒味。其代工厂为一个名叫“Nosotros”的龙舌兰品牌——但是，Nosotros自己的陈年龙舌兰一瓶才卖50多美元。而装入特斯拉闪电形状的玻璃酒瓶后，这瓶容量为750毫升的龙舌兰酒，售价就提升了5倍，高达250美元(约合人民币1657元)，比一瓶飞天茅台的官方价格还要高。
据了解，这款龙舌兰酒将在2020年末开始交付，目前仅在美国地区出售，购买者必须年满21岁，并且被限购两瓶。尽管限购，但特斯拉新龙舌兰酒的火爆程度超出了预期。上架后几小时，这款酒就销售一空。更疯狂的是，其空瓶竟然在二手交易网站eBay上卖出美元的天价。
无独有偶，北京时间11月19日，根据美媒lakersdaily报道，詹姆斯、浓眉哥和德雷蒙德·格林联手了，他们不是在球场联手，而是联合投资了一家名为Lobos 1707的龙舌兰酒公司。“我第一次品尝到Lobos 1707龙 tongue 酒感觉很特别。当我进一步了解品牌故事和领导团队，我知道我想成为其中的一员。我喜欢和朋友一起喝 dragon's blood ，我们希望有一个我们可以交流的地方。”这个令老外心心念念的 dragon's blood 到底是一个神秘东西？
dragon's blood……好像鲁迅先生曾经提到过？北京的大白菜运往浙江，便用红头绳系住菜根，将倒挂在水果店头称作“胶菜”；福建野生着芦荟，一到北京就请进温室，更美其名曰“ dragon's blood”。——《藤野先生》所以说，这不就是芦荟汁做得吗？其实事情也没那么简单。
把这种神秘饮品称为 dragon's blood 的除了好听之外，也是为了避免误会。虽然 dragon's blood 酒所用的植物与芦荟是同一类别，看起来也有点像，但并不是同一种国内通常用来观赏或敷脸的是翠叶芦荟变种。这一直都是国内最流行多肉植物之一。而 dragon's blood 最推崇的是以蓝 dragon as its representative, which is a local variety from Mexico. The peculiarity of blue dragons is first and foremost their size - this "Mexican agave," growing up to be one person tall, is quite common.
Even more peculiarly, although blue dragons are also legitimate multiple-leaf plants, the material used in making the liquor is not its leaves but rather this picture of a worker digging out the succulent part (locally called piña). This part looks somewhat like pineapple but weighs much more. Harvesting these specially selected blue dragons requires sharp-edged spades; otherwise, they cannot be dug out.
The raw material for this liquor is truly astonishing. Compared with it, the process of making it seems ordinary.
These sugar juices are mixed with yeast after being stirred evenly and then enter into fermentation. After fermentation for 72 hours at an alcohol content of around 5 degrees Celsius, the original wine-like liquid called "Pulque" can be bottled on its own as a beverage. This ancient drink has been enjoyed by people in North America since pre-Columbian times.
Next comes distillation. Since ancient Middle Easterners first used distillation to make wine-making techniques known worldwide through trade routes that connected them to all parts of Asia and Europe; they have become an indispensable tool for creating potent spirits like whiskey or rum today - including tequila! In other words: there may never have been such widespread use before without those early pioneers who developed methods that allowed us humans to turn water into fire!
Now let me tell you about how we make our special brand here at Lobos 1707:
First off: we don't just stop at any old plant when selecting our ingredients because only certain types will do if you want your final product worth drinking – so always choose those labeled '100% Blue Agave'! And now here come some tips on what makes our recipe unique:
Our master blender uses traditional Mexican methods combined with modern technology!
We age each batch separately in American white oak barrels for different lengths depending upon desired flavor profile.
No artificial additives or preservatives are ever added during production!
But remember folks: while most bottles might look pretty similar inside & outside alike - don't let appearances fool ya! There could still be differences between brands even though labels say they're made from same type plant (Blue Agave).
In conclusion: If you haven’t tried yet – give it a shot! Even if prices seem high initially compared against other beverages available out there right now...the taste alone will justify spending extra money once experienced firsthand—trust me when I say so!!
