Delicious TEQUILA COCKTAIL RECIPE

FROM STAR LIQUORS

Tequila means different things to different people. Whether you prefer your tequila in a Margarita, shot with a lime, neat, or enjoyed on the beach or in the mountains, it’s a spirit that is easily enjoyed in pretty much any situation.

Tequila is a distilled beverage made from the blue agave plant. Mexican law regulates that tequila can only come from the state of Jalisco and must be bottled between 35 and 55 percent ABV. When sold in the U.S., tequila must contain a minimum 40 percent ABV. Popular tequila brands in the United States include Hornitos, Don Julio, and Patron.

Tequila is made from the sugars found in the blue agave plant. The plant’s core is cooked, allowing the sugars to be extracted, then fermented, distilled, and sometimes aged. Agave plants from the highlands of Jalisco often yield sweeter and fruitier tasting tequila while plants sourced from the lowlands deliver a more earthy flavor. The length of time tequila spends in barrel determines the depth of color and the intensity of wood or oak character in the flavors.
