Mexican Tequila Mexico
Tequila is obtained from the plant called maguey that grows in and around the town of Tequila, in the state of Jalisco. Ancient people made alcoholic beverages using the maguey plant long before the Spaniards came to the New World. In order to refine the drink the Spaniards introduced the process of distillation. It takes between 8 and 12 years for the maguey to mature. When it is ready to be harvested, the leaves and spikes of the maguey are stripped away, leaving only the heart, which looks like a pineapple. The heart is roasted, pressed, and then shredded to extract the juice, to which sugar is added. The mixture is left to ferment for four days, and then it is distilled twice. Afterwards the tequila is aged in wooden casks and the final product is a clear liquid.
