Tequila

Agave spirit's birthplace

Tequila is a Mexican spirit distilled from the blue agave plant, produced mainly in the region around the city of Tequila in Jalisco.

It ranges from clear (blanco) to aged golden varieties (reposado, añejo).

Tequila is the base of margaritas and is traditionally drunk neat with salt and lime.

We did tequila shots until closing time.
