  • The History of Tequila.  By : Robert Palmer
    The history of tequila began with the Aztec people making a fermented beverage from the agave plant which they called octli (later and more popularly called pulque).

  • Tequila cocktails  By : Robert Palmer
    Tequila - a fine, complex liquor that is best when sipped slowly. Traditionally it is served warm in order to appreciate its wonderful flavor.

Añejo is served in a snifter so that its aroma is fully appreciated. The tequila shot with lime and salt is made from Hollywood and few people drink it that way.
