Traditional drinking method
In Mexico, the traditional drinking method of tequila is very special and requires some skills. First, sprinkle salt on the back of your hand, hold a small glass of pure tequila with your thumb and forefinger, and then hold a lemon slice with your ring finger and middle finger. Lick the salt off the tiger's mouth quickly, then drink the wine immediately and take a bite of lemon slices. The whole process is done in one go, and both the flavor and the drinking method are a must.
Common drinking methods
Tequila is also suitable for drinking chilled or on ice. Its unique flavor is more suitable for preparing various cocktails.

Historical origin:
In the third century BC, the Indian civilization living in Central America had discovered the technology of fermenting wine. They use any available sugar source in their lives to make wine, and juicy agave with high sugar content naturally becomes the raw material for wine making. Tequila is made by fermenting tequila juice.
Tequila has always been a pure fermented wine until the Spanish conquerors across the Atlantic brought distillation technology to the new world. Later, they tried to improve the alcohol content of agave by distillation, so they produced distilled liquor made from agave. Because this new product successfully replaced wine and became the object of mass consumption of these colonists, it was named Mescal wine.
