Celebrate National Tequila Day

24 Jul 2013 national tequila day,

Tequila-like spirits have been produced in Mexico from the age of the Aztecs, long before the arrival of the Spanish conquerors in the 16th century.

It was in 1795 that Jose Cuervo, under a license from the government, began distilling tequila in the region of Jalisco (which includes the town of Tequila), where there was an ample supply of the agave (pronounced ‘ah-gah-vay’) “cactus.” In actuality, the agave is not a cactus at all but a type of succulent, related to the aloe and lily family.

I will be a day late, but I will celebrate tonight. By the way, on "National Mezcal Day" Whenever that is, don't forget to take a worm to lunch.
