National Tequila Day is on July 24.
On Sunday morning, “Fox & Friends Weekend” welcomed Hiatus Tequila founder Kristopher DeSoto to celebrate the distilled spirit derived from fermented agave juice.
Here are a few entertaining tequila facts for today and every day.
Look at these details.
- Tequila is a native of Mexico and takes its name from the town of the same name in the western Mexican state of Jalisco.
- Tequila can only be produced in five states.
These states are Tamaulipas, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Michoacan, and Nayarit.
According to DeSoto on “Fox & Friends Weekend,” Jalisco is one of Mexico’s top producing states.
- Mexican blue agave, a succulent species with fleshy leaves, is the basic component used to create tequila.
According to DeSoto, it may take the plant up to eight years to reach maturity. The agave plant is harvested and boiled to create tequila when it eventually reaches maturity.
- The hue of tequila varies depending on how long it has been matured.
Tequila is available in three ages: blanco (on the left), reposado (in the middle), and aejo (on the right) (right). A distinct color is produced by aging.
