Ba dap ba ba dap ba dap dap, tequila!

We recently visted the home of tequila, a small town called Tequila (funny that) in the state of Jalisco. This is were the likes of Jose Cuervo decided to set up shop.

Tequila is made from the pina (heart) of the blue agave plant. The pina is steamed, fermented, distilled, and often aged. Mexican tequila laws (similar concept to the USA bourbon laws) tightly control quality of Mexican tequila. 

Go grab yourself a bottle, and pop this track on to get you in the mood:
