Description
Tequila is a distilled beverage that is made by distilling the fermented juices of the Weber blue agave plant. While tequila is the essential ingredient in margaritas and tequila shots are very popular, there are many other cocktail recipes in which it can be mixed. The baked agave is crushed to extract the sweet juice, which is then fermented with yeast to convert the sugar into alcohol. There are five types of tequila namely; Blanco Tequila is a clear spirit. This type of tequila is rested no more than 60 days in stainless steel tanks, Joven Tequila is one of the often unaged tequilas.
