Not too long ago, Tequila options were limited. Tequila used to be dark brown and tasted terrible. It was not sipped, it was used in margarita’s loaded with sugar or taken as a shot following by salt, lime, intense gagging and possibly vomiting. Yes, it was that bad.
Over the last decade or so, many new tequila brands have hit the market. It is confusing to know what kind to order and how to drink it. Similar to wine and bourbon, tequila is tastier the longer it is aged.
The team at RaveReviews.com created The Definitive Guide On The 5 Types of Tequila. Learn these tips and you will sound worldly and impressive the next time you are on a date or out with friends.
