A strong alcoholic drink made from the agave plant, originally produced in Mexico and often served with lime and salt.
Named after the town of Tequila in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. The drink comes from fermented agave juice, a beverage made by the Aztecs for thousands of years before Spanish colonization.
The Aztecs made a drink called 'pulque' from agave centuries before tequila—Spanish colonizers added their distillation techniques to create tequila, making it a physical example of cultural collision creating something entirely new.
