Roughly, health, money and time to spend it. We have been to the town of tequila twice. Camped there overnight in a parking lot. Fun little town.

I may have lost my precious barrel of Tequila contrabanda that I barreled in a Heitz cellars oak pony keg in 1984. Yep, going on 34 years aged. Friends were terrorized into abandoning their house and fleeing to the USA and I lost my friends and I lost the absolute finest tequila I have ever sipped. In 1984 the barrel of white lightnin cost me more than a hundred dollars from the distillery.Dang!

National Tequila official day.Salud is health and pesetas is the old Spanish word for pesos (money) and tiempo para gastarlos is time to spend them, it is a fraze that is also used when you sneeze, when you lift a tumbler of Tequila and you say salud and preceede to savor it in company off good friends that is whhat a good life is all about.Salud amigos.Agood bottle of Tequila should be savoured in the same manner that a good Cognac is sipped, the cheap Tequila can be done with the lime and salt.navegator

Buen agave de azul comes from Jalisco. Many people have never had good tequila. I had a party last fall and cooked traditional food outside on a fire. I had two sisters that grew up cooking that way making tortillas on a comal. I put out one good bottle of tequila and put on the Mexican music. Many people were talking Spanish. The girls drank some tequila while cooking out of tiny little plastic shot glasses. They took limon y sal with it and really enjoyed it.

The origin of the salt and lime with Tequila goes back when it was first being distilled, at that time the alcohol content was very, very high and in order to lessen the burning sensation, a pinch of salt was placed on the tongue and the shot of Tequila taken followed by the limon (lime) to sooth the sting of the alcohol and salt.

Today the Tequila industry has matured and there are Tequilas that are good and smooth as a Courvoisier or a Remy Matran, drinking these Tequilas with a pinch of salt and limon would be as bad as MEXICOWANDER stated, not to nice.

Drink yor Tequila any way that you prefer and enjoy, as long as you drink the Tequila!
