Tequila is a popular adult beverage that is sought after all year long but has been awarded its day on the calendar. National Tequila Day is recognized on July 24th each year to pay tribute to this popular Mexican-originated liquor. Verde Kitchen & Cocktails is thrilled to prepare for this enjoyable occasion and is also happy to provide information about the history of Tequila and its awesome variations.

Tequila is a unique distilled drink that is mainly produced by blue agave plants. Although deeply rooted in Mexican culture through tradition, tequila has reached outward and become a symbol of celebration, fellowship, and merriment. Manufactured in the vicinity of the town, Tequila, situated in the Jalisco region of Mexico, tequila is revered as the national drink of Mexico. 

First referred to as mezcal wine, there are various types of tequila available to sample and enjoy. Blanco tequila, for example, is a white tequila that is not aged. Joven tequila is an unaged golden tequila that is enriched with either sugar syrup or caramel. On the other hand, Reposado is a tequila that is aged anywhere between two months and one year in oak barrels, while Anejo tequila is aged from one to three years, and Extra Anejo tequila is aged for a timespan of at least three years.

It is a bit foggy as to how and when National Tequila Day was first confirmed. Nevertheless, July 24th has materialized as a leading manner of showcasing the extensive admiration and demand for tequila, namely in the United States. Outside of Mexico, America has been a dominant force in the expansion and success of tequila around the world. National Tequila Day allows people everywhere to respect the cultural and historical importance of tequila production, which is traced as far back as the 16th-century Spanish colonization of Mexico.
