| Its claim to fame is as North America's first native distilled drink. Mexican law has that tequila should contain at least 51% agave. In any Hollywood Western, a salon sequence is a must. And in almost all salon sequences, you have a tequila scene. There is actually a registered body, the Tequila Regulatory Council, which restricts tequila production to only a few regions of Mexico. Hollywood has even popularized and glamorized a tequila drinking style where you first lick a pinch of salt from the back of your hand, gulp down the tequila and bite into the fruit. Tequila is the inspiration behind many a tune, like Eagle's 'Tequila Sunrise'. |
