Tequila, known as the soul of Mexico, is primarily produced from the blue agave plant near Guadalajara, Mexico and in the Jaliscan Highlands. This distilled beverage gained international popularity following the Olympic Games hosted in Mexico, and it has continued to grow in annual consumption ever since. Enjoyed on its own or as a base in cocktails – like a Tequila Sunrise, Bullfighter, or Margarita – this liquor is the perfect year-round beverage.
