Sometimes, cocktail hour needs to be power hour. There are plenty of days when the end of the work day is best celebrated with a crisp beer, a glass of wine, or something else light and refreshing. But some days demand a little more oomph in the glass. Bonded bourbons and navy-strength gins and rums have filled that need for years. Now, a new tequila offers another way to scratch that higher-proof itch: El Tequileño Still Strength Blanco Tequila , this week’s Drink of the Week.

One of the main takeaways from “Castaway” and “Robinson Crusoe” is that being stranded alone on a deserted island would be — to put it lightly — a pretty dismal existence. Food isn’t a guarantee, inanimate objects become your only friends (looking at you, Wilson ), and you don’t know if or when you’ll ever be able to leave. Another losing quality in this scenario: Alcohol would likely be in short supply.
