Tequila

Tequila is a distilled alcoholic beverage originally from Mexico, made from the fermentation and distillation of the juice of the blue agave. Tequila is mainly made in the Jalisco region, although it is also produced in other states of Mexico. Tequila is classified into several categories based on its aging, ranging from blanco tequila (unaged) to extra añejo tequila (aged more than 3 years). Tequila is commonly used in cocktails, such as the margarita and paloma, and can also be drunk neat or accompanied by a slice of lime and salt on the rim of the glass.
