Tequila is a distilled spirit made from the blue agave plant, primarily in the region of Jalisco, Mexico. It has a strong cultural heritage, tied deeply to Mexican traditions and celebrations. Tequila comes in several varieties, including blanco, reposado, and añejo, each distinguished by aging time and flavor profile. Known for its earthy, slightly sweet taste, tequila is enjoyed neat, with salt and lime, or as the base for famous cocktails like the margarita. With its protected designation of origin and global recognition, Tequila stands as both a national symbol of Mexico and a popular international spirit.
