National Tequila Day- July 24th 2018
On July 24 grab a lime and the salt. It’s National Tequila Day!
Made from the blue agave plant, tequila has a deep and storied history. Named after the small town of Tequila in a valley west of Guadalajara in Jalisco, Mexico, the spirit was known as mezcal wine about the time the conquistadors came to the continent.
While there are a variety of succulents in Mexico used for several purposes, only one produces the nectar to distill tequila. Blue Agave, raised in the highlands region, is larger in size and sweeter in aroma and taste. Agave grown in the lowland regions have a more herbaceous fragrance and flavor. Legislation similar to that enacted for bourbon and cognac, Mexican law states tequila is only tequila if it is produced within Jalisco. The law limits production to regions in the states of Guanajuato, Michoacan, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas. If the same ingredients are distilled anywhere else, it’s not tequila

15 Facts About Tequila-
1. Tequila has an appellation of origin. Like champagne, cognac, and some fine wines, tequila can only be produced in five regions in Mexico.
2. It must be made from the blue agave plant.
3. Only the agave heart is used to make tequila.
4. It's technically a mezcal. But not all mezcals are tequila. That's because any spirit distilled from the agave plant is considered mezcal, but tequila can come from the blue agave variation.
5. The majestic agave plant is not a cactus. The agave plant actually belongs to the Agavoideae family, which is closely related to the lily plant. In Latin, agave means illustrious, admirable, and noble.
6. Tequila drinkers in Mexico typically sip their drink. A common practice in the U.S. is to take a shot with lime and salt while those in Mexico opt to savor their tequila.
7. There's a specific type of tequila that won't leave you feeling hungover. The game changer: Blanco tequila, which is left in its purest form, doesn't contain any of the corn syrup or added sugar that's often linked to post-party regret.
8. Tequila pairings are a thing. The spirit has inspired many of the world's top chefs and most discerning palates to create extraordinary food pairings.
9. As with wine, terroir can influence the taste of tequila. Casa Dragones agaves are harvested in the rich agricultural lands of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, where the mineral-rich soil produces sweet blue agaves, according to, the tequila brand's CEO and co-founder.
10. The agave harvest is a labor of love. Agave azul tequilana weber, or blue agave, plants take between 8 and 12 years to harvest.
11. Mexico's magnificent agave landscape is recognized as a World Heritage site by UNESCO.
12. Before you taste tequila, use your nose. The Mexican Academy of Tequila Tasters has identified more than 600 aromas in tequila.
13. There are five official classifications of tequila. They are: Blanco, Joven, Reposado, Añejo, and Extra Añejo, from youngest to oldest.
14. Tequila has tasting notes, but not like wine. In the case of Casa Dragones, the brand collaborated the Mexican Academy of Tequila Tasters to define its unique tasting notes, which include notes of vanilla and spiced undertones for Casa Dragones Joven, and semi-sweet notes of agave warmed by hints of pepper and cloves for Casa Dragones Blanco.
15. Tequila is finished with 60 percent water.
