Historien

De gamle Aztec Indianere fremstillede en gæret drik, med lavt alkoholindhold. Den blev kaldt pulque, og bestod af gæret saft fra agaver. Historien vil vide, at Cortez og hans mænd fik serveret denne drik i udhulede græskar (kalabas'er) af Aztecer-kejseren Montezuma. De invaderende spanioler blev meget glade for drikken, og forskede videre. De fandt ud af at det var den blå agave der resulterede i den mest aromatiske og bløde tequila. Og resten er historie, som man siger.

Agave er en slægt af narcis-familien, og kan efter 8-20 år have et op til 15 meter højt blomsterskaft. Den har stikkende blade, hvilket er årsagen til at tequila sommetider spøgefuldt benævnes "kaktus whiskey".

I Danmark er Tequila relativt ukendt langt op i tresserne. Som ingredient i drinks og cocktails er den ikke med i bøger op til halvtredserne. Selv i Lademanns Drinks-leksikon fra 1987 er Tequila udeladt.

Definitioner

Tequila fremstilles i to regioner i Mexico, den ene nær byen Tequila og den anden nær Tepatitlán. Tequila er et destillat af den gærede saft fra den blå agave. Der findes andre varianter af agaveplanten, men i henhold til mexicansk lov må kun produktet fra den blå agave kaldes tequila. Grundsubstansen skal være mindst 51% saft fra den blå agave, mens resten kan være sukkerrørsaft eller anden sukker. Der findes tequila fremstillet af 100% saft fra blå agave, de er kendetegnet ved at de kræver certifikat fra regeringen for at sikre at det er korrekt.

"White" tequila eksporteres umiddelbart efter destillation.

"Gold" tequila lagres normalt i to til fire år i egefade. Der er dog ingen krav til lagringstiden. Er tequilaen betegnet Tequila añejo skal den dog være lagret minimum ét år.
