The Right Way To Drink Tequila : The national drink of Mexico is tequila, made from blue agave. Tequila has three main varieties: blanco (unaged), reposado (aged 2-12 months in oak barrels), and añejo (aged 1-3 years in tiny wood barrels). Although tequila is often associated with party drinks, there are other ways to enjoy it without feeling like a piñata the next day. Some are listed here.

The Right Way To Drink Tequila

1.Sipping Neat, Enjoying Slowly

• Choose 100% agave tequila. Not all tequilas are equal. Choose real tequila if you wish to drink it like most Mexicans.
  Some tequilas are “mixtos,” prepared with at least 51% agave and sugars. Avoid them.
• They taste unlike tequila.Bartenders and tequila experts advocate family-owned over corporate tequila.
• Looking at you, Cuervo. Small, family-owned tequila is almost guaranteed to be 100% agave and taste better.

2.Choose an Añejo tequila.

• Añejo tequilas, matured for at least a year, offer superior drinking than hasty or flavor-heavy tequilas. These añejos are typically compared to aged cognac.
• Although more expensive than reposados or blancos, añejos are not excessively so.
• A nice añejo should cost under $50.Drink añejos at room temperature.
• Ice dilutes the flavor and hides the tequila’s components.
• If you prefer sipping tequila, invest in a glass to savor your añejo. Sniftering tequila is also popular.

3.Enjoy your tequila with a little bit of sangrita.

• 1 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice
• 1 cup tomato juice (not V-8)
• 1 oz fresh-squeezed lime juice
• 1 tsp grenadine
• 12 dashes hot sauce — e.g., Cholula

4.Follow the sipping protocol.

• Pour one ounce of tequila into a glass or snifter. Raise the glass to eye level and examine the tequila’s color from the stem.
• Swirl tequila carefully in glass. Look at the “string of pearls” effect as tequila sticks to the glass walls.
• Take a little drink and swish the tequila about your lips for 10 seconds to spread it around your tongue.
• Repeat swallowing! Fancy, huh?
