What to mix tequila with is a matter of individual preference.

Tequila is a strong alcoholic drink made from blue agave leaves, obtained by distillation. Cocktails with tequila began to be prepared first in the USA, then during the period of Prohibition in free Mexico, and since the late 30s of the 20th century, cocktails with tequila have conquered most of the civilized world.

Traditionally, tequila was prepared in the area around the town of Tequila, northwest of Guadalajara. Agave is a genus of cacti with broad leaves containing a large number of moisture. Tequila must contain at least 51% alcohol from agave, the rest may be alcohol from other raw materials, such as corn, cane or potatoes. But good tequila is made only from agave, and the label always says “100% agava” or “100% blue agava.” Cheap varieties of tequila mention “mixto”.

Before preparing cocktails from tequila, you need to understand its varieties and varieties. Tequila comes in several main types, regardless of brand:
. Plata or Blanca. Silver tequila. Aged for at least 2 months in barrels. Light citrus and herbal notes on the palate. Fruity aroma. Good, balanced and long aftertaste. Strength 38-55%.
. Gold. Golden tequila. Silver tequila, tinted with age. Sweet citrus and fruit tones in the taste. Citrus and vanilla with a woody hint of aroma. Tart aftertaste.

There are several unusual rituals associated with drinking tequila. While some connoisseurs argue that these rules greatly influence taste, most agree that they are more of a tradition than a necessity. The most important ritual is to hit the stack on the table. It's called a tequila boom. The drinker pours tequila with tonic or soda into a shot glass, covers it with his palm top part, hits the table and drinks in one gulp. Another custom, they say, came to us from Mexico. Pour a pinch of salt into the depression between your thumb and forefinger, drop a few drops of lime, lick the mixture and immediately drink the tequila. All these tricks are needed to drink tequila in its pure form. We will tell you how to consume this wonderful drink in a noble way - make a cocktail with tequila.
