Gone are the days of bad tasting tequila done quickly as a shot with salt & lime to disguise the lingering harsh throat burn.
Tequila has been making a silent come back as a delicious drink to sip with ice or made into a yummy cocktail. The harsh tequilas that we drank in our teens and twenties were most likely Mixos, which have only 51% of Agave Syrup in them, the other 49% is made up of cheap syrups and flavours.
Always look for 100% Agave Syrup. The Agave plant takes 6-8 years to harvest, so this is definitely a liquor that takes it time to get right and thus deserves to be slowly enjoyed.
