Tequila

About

Tequila is a renowned spirit originating from Mexico, crafted from the Weber blue agave plant. Its production involves a meticulous process: harvesting mature agave, baking to convert starches into sugars, shredding, extracting juice, fermenting, and distilling twice to achieve purity. Tequila is classified into types based on aging: Blanco (unaged), Reposado (aged for two months to a year), Añejo (aged for one to three years), and Extra Añejo (aged over three years). Tequila's popularity in cocktails like the Margarita and Paloma has contributed to its global demand. The rise of premium and craft tequilas, focusing on quality and traditional methods, has elevated its appeal. Additionally, tequila's versatility in cocktails and its cultural significance in Mexico make it a staple in both bars and home gatherings. Its market growth is driven by trends in premiumization and cocktail culture, with Blanco tequila being the most consumed due to its crisp flavor profile.
