The Appeal of Tequila
Tequila is a widely popular choice and is rapidly becoming the best-selling spirit in the United States, surpassing whiskey and vodka. The beverage is made in Jalisco, Mexico, from juices extracted solely from the blue agave plant and boasts a smooth, sweet, spicy, and sometimes fruity or toasty taste. Tequila’s unique combination of flavors and aromas sets it apart from other liquors and spirits.
