Tequila is a traditional Mexican drink. Margaritas are not, they’ve been designed for tourists.

    It must be…….when I was in Mexico on a business trip, they gave shots of it at the door every night.
    How about a Margarita? That would be a Mexican drink.

    The tequila that is popular today was first mass-produced in the early 1800s in Guadalajara, Mexico

    Drinking Tequila was once a ritual usually performed by a man. He would put some salt where the bottom of the thumb met his wrist. After licking the salt, he would take a swig of tequila from a shot glass and then bite into a piece of lime. Ladies were not too fond of this and always drank their tequila mixed into a cocktail. Tequila is listed as a spirit and distilled from the sugar sap of the blue agave plant then fermenting it and producing a liquor with a distinctive taste. Tequila was sold exclusively in Mexico until the nineteen-nineties when sipping it became trendy in the South Western region of the United States.

    Yes tequila is a traditional Mexican drink. The Spanish used some of their techniques that turned grapes into brandy to turn agave into tequila. The drink stuck around after Mexico’s independence and is now enjoyed the world over. (Or despised the world over, depending on the quality of tequila you are drinking and how many times you’ve gotten sick from drinking too much of it…lol)
