Fans of the Oprah Winfrey Show may still be suffering a bit of withdrawal since the talk show hostess decided to call it quits. Gone are the days when you could get your late afternoon fix of celebrity hijinx and major giveaways. But no show was more enjoyable than the ones where Oprah herself indulged in a little hijinx of her own by downing shots of tequila. You all did realize that show was taped at 9AM right?

But O didn’t say goodbye to TV or tequila forever. She heads up her OWN Network and gave pal Rosie O’Donnell a chance to helm her own show again, “The Rosie Show.”  The friends got together on October 17 to toast the new show with what else? Tequila!

And finally we know what kind of tequila Oprah actually likes! Tequila Partida Blanco.

This is not the first time Oprah has celebrated a milestone with Tequila Partida. In fact, during her final days at Harpo Studios earlier this year, Oprah threw a special Happy Hour Partida-theme party for her entire staff along with her special guest Partida’s Founder, Chairman and CEO Gary Shansby.

Tequila Partida is a high quality and all natural tequila made from 100% blue agave.  And while Oprah may have the gusto to drink it straight up, we realize some might prefer a tequila cocktail instead. So we asked Partida to send over some delicious ones for you to try while you watch Rosie and reminisce about Oprah!
