Grab a few limes, a saltshaker and some glasses, it’s time to celebrate! Tequila has been around since the 16th century, beginning as fermented mezcal wine. Spanish conquistadors introduced copper stills to the process and distilled the mezcal wine into tequila. There’s a saying, all tequila is mezcal but not all mezcal but not all mezcal is tequila. While many succulent plants are able to produce mezcal, only the Blue Agave produces the right nectar to make tequila. Mix up a pitcher of homemade margaritas to celebrate National Tequila Day. Check out our margarita collection to fine the classic recipe and maybe a new favorite.
