🥭🌅 Fun Fact Friday | Mango Sunset Margarita | Tequila Through the Years
This week, we're pouring a little sunshine into the glass with the Mango Sunset Margarita while exploring the story behind the spirit that makes a margarita a margarita: TEQUILA! 🌵🥃
But tequila's story didn't begin with margaritas, shots, or even tequila as we know it today.
We're traveling from Mexico's ancient agave traditions through the development of distilled agave spirits, the growth of tequila production, its rise onto the international cocktail scene, and finally into today's world of premium sipping tequilas and creative mixology.
🕰️ Tequila Through Time
Long before modern tequila existed, Indigenous communities in Mexico fermented agave to produce beverages such as pulque.
Distillation introduced during the colonial period eventually led to distilled agave spirits, while production in places such as Jalisco helped shape what would become modern tequila.
By the 20th century, tequila was reaching audiences far beyond Mexico, with cocktails such as the Margarita and Paloma helping introduce the spirit to generations of new drinkers.
Today, tequila can be just as comfortable in an elevated tasting experience as it is inside a creative cocktail. 🥃✨
And the type you choose can completely change the experience.
Blanco brings fresh, vibrant agave character and often shines with citrus and tropical fruit. 🌿
Reposado introduces some barrel influence, making it a beautiful bridge between fresh agave and richer flavors.
Añejo and Extra Añejo spend longer aging in oak, developing deeper characteristics that can work beautifully for sipping or alongside richer flavors.
Different tequila. Different personality. Different possibilities behind the bar.
