Brief History

Tequila, derived from the blue agave plant, has been crafted for thousands of years, with its ancient predecessor, pulque, dating back to around 150 B.C. The production process involves cooking the agave hearts (piñas), grinding, and fermenting them for several months to three years. Unlike fruit-based drinks, once agave is used, it cannot be reused.

For a spirit to be labeled "tequila," at least 51% of its content must come from blue agave. Many high-quality tequilas use 100% blue agave, which is typically more expensive. Tequila must be produced in specific regions of Mexico, including Jalisco, Michoacán, Tamaulipas, Guanajuato, or Nayarit.

National Tequila Day, celebrated on July 24th, honors this iconic drink. Officially recognized by the Mexican government in 2018, the day celebrates tequila in all its forms, from straight shots to cocktails.

How It’s Celebrated

National Tequila Day is marked by various festivities and gatherings. Bars and restaurants often feature special tequila-based cocktails, offer tastings, or host themed events to celebrate the day. Enthusiasts may enjoy tequila in classic drinks like margaritas or explore new cocktail recipes. Tequila tastings and educational events are also common, where participants learn about the different types of tequila and its production process. Celebrations can range from casual get-togethers with friends to larger, festive events highlighting tequila's role in Mexican culture.
