OPENING A BOTTLE OF TEQUILA

If I recall correct, that is a type of dribble reducer. You just open the cap, tip the bottle upside down, pour, and enjoy. Chuck... 8)

Just like the others said you have to shake it or hit it on the bottom like a bottle of ketchup. There is a little ball in the plastic that sometimes gets stuck and by hitting it or shaking it it loosens it. Enjoy!
Jeez. I went ahead and bit the darn neck off the bottle.

bit the darn neck off the bottle.
2o years ago... make that 30 - biting the necks off ozzy ozbourne style, spitting out glass, and peeing razorblades were all the things young pukes like me wanted to do in life.... but now I just want to enjoy drinking the stuff without too much effort..... or heartburn.
The secret is to not hurry the process. You have described what happens when one is in a hurry and emulates the bartender moves of a vertical pour. The restrictor is doing its job in preventing the precious stuff exiting all over the place. I have been using the following method for many years (after my first disaster).

Remove the cap and set it aside in a safe place that you can find later. Slowly tilt the bottle to just past the horizontal and the liquid will start to slowly dribble and increase as you continue to raise the bottle. It is not fast but avoids an over pour (god forbid). I have used this method for the last 15 years and am a satisfied happy consumer. Will be in PV in mid may to continue testing the procedure. Regards, Harry
hahaha.. reminds me of the first time my husband had one of these bottles. He tried so hard to get the tequila out! I came in and smacked the bottle to loosen the top up a bit and it slowly started coming out, the next drink it poured fine. New fangled things anyway.
But the pouring a more accurate shot is true, lets you count the shot. Most bartenders use the counting method to pour an ounce or 1 and 1/2 oz. Its probably a 5 count or so with this insert.
Heres to effortless beverage tonight!

Cheers!
The last time I used a GPS two satellites collided.
