Tequila
It was once a ritual usually performed by a man. He would put some salt where the bottom of the thumb met his wrist. After licking the salt, he would take a swig of tequila from a shot glass and then bite into a piece of lime. Ladies were not too fond of this and always drank their tequila mixed into a cocktail. Tequila is listed as a spirit and distilled from the sugar sap of the blue agave plant then fermenting it and producing a liquor with a distinctive taste. Tequila was sold exclusively in Mexico until the nineteen-nineties when sipping it became trendy in the Southwestern region of the United States. The price of tequila varies from the modest to the more expensive depending upon the quality of the producer. Now with the demands of authenticity, the premium brands are truly appreciated world-wide. Traditionally, tequila has always been served in a two-ounce glass, or caballito at room temperature or enjoyed ice cold with some bottled lime juice added or just a squeeze of the lime itself. A famous glass company in Austria introduced a six andthree-fourth ounce glass for sipping tequila that fully allows the taste of it to be fully appreciated by the glass's shape. The distillers of tequila have to follow strict guidelines set by the Mexican government and be bottled at the distillery in the Tequila region of Mexico. There are two general categories and four types of tequila. Blanco, or silver is clear and transparent and has a stronger flavor. Oro, or Gold has added colorants and flavorings producing a caramel color with a mellow flavor. Reposado, or rested in oak casts from two months up to one year. It has a mellower taste that is gentler to the palate. Afiejo, or aged is a blanco, a clear tequila kept in white oak casts for more than a year. Reserve is a specialAfiejo, aged tequila kept in oak casts for up to eight years. It is priced much higher than the premium brands.
