Tequila

Tequila is Mexico's national spirit, exclusively produced from the Blue Agave plant. Grown in popularity, it's not just a shooter for students, it's a sophisticated spirit that takes time to produce. The agave plant alone can take up to 7 years to grow. Usually presented in fancy containers and available in a variety of expressions ranging from younger "blanco" spirit to Extra-Anejo (aged). Tequila is best-enjoyed sipped, but cheaper versions are great for cocktails.
