It's a great day to mix up a margarita and soak up the sun.
I read up a little on the history of Tequila. You might want to pour yourself a shot of tequila and read along.
Tequila is mezcal, but, mezcal is not tequila (another sip of your drink and reread that again). When the Spanish conquered Mexico, they didn't like the mezcal (fermented wine). They supplied some copper stills and the distilling process became popular. In the town of Tequila, in Jalisco, Mexico, they decided to distill Blue Agave. The ideal growing conditions lead to a larger and sweeter tasting agave. According to Mexican law, Tequila is Tequila only if it is made in Jalisco. Fun Fact: Jose Antonio Cuervo was the first to hold a license for making Tequila.
Celebrate #NationalTequilaDay by sipping a margarita. Maybe try a Tequila Sunrise. Or just savor a good tequila like whiskey.
Most importantly, remember to drink responsibly.
Cheers!
