🌱 From Agave Fields to Your Glass: The Origins of Tequila
Did you know tequila starts in the agave fields of Mexico? 🌵 Imagine rows upon rows of blue agave plants under the sun—these spiky beauties are where all the magic happens! The story goes back thousands of years when the Aztecs fermented agave juice into something called *pulque*. Fast forward to 1500s colonial times, Spaniards added distillation techniques, and boom—tequila was born!
But wait, not all agave drinks are tequila. Fun fact: To be labeled as tequila, it must come from specific regions like Jalisco, Mexico, and contain at least 51% blue agave. Anything less? That’s mezcal territory (which we’ll save for another day). 😏
