Tequila, a distilled spirit from Mexico, is made primarily from the blue agave plant. It is often categorized into different types, including Blanco (unaged), Reposado (aged 2-12 months), Añejo (aged 1-3 years), and Extra Añejo (aged over 3 years). Known for its distinctive flavor, tequila can be enjoyed straight, in cocktails like margaritas, or as a sipping spirit. It is highly regulated, with production confined to specific regions in Mexico, primarily in Jalisco.
