Tequila - known to many strong alcoholica drink originally from Mexico, named after the city of Tequila, in the vicinity of which this elite alcohol is made. The basis of tequila is the fruit of the blue agave (core). Tequila "South" - a brand that forever won the hearts of fans with a rich taste and unsurpassed aroma.
It all started almost two centuries ago, when one of theMexican entrepreneurs were excited by the idea of creating their own production of tequila. Senobio Sauza systematically increased the front of the work, and as a result he managed not only to cover the whole region, but also to establish a permanent export of alcoholic beverage to other countries. Tequila, which quickly gained a leading position in the alcohol market, was given the name in honor of Souza. Over time, the company of Don Senobio has become a major dealer with a brand name. It has been more than 150 years since the first bottles with an elite drink hit the tables of buyers, but to this day "South" tequila is considered one of the best brands of alcohol. And the reasons for this are very weighty: it is made from eco-products (selected fruits of blue agave), there are no dyes and preservatives, which improves quality, it has unsurpassed taste and rich aroma.
Like any alcoholic beverage, tequila hasseveral distinctive features. Now there are four species on the market, each of which is unique. Alcohol content of about 40%, bottling 0,7 or 1 liter, as well as a pungent taste mixed with spicy shades - it is about the "South" tequila Blanco (silver). The next type of tequila - Conmemorativo - is made traditionally from the fruits of blue agave, but with the addition of grain alcohol. To bouquet managed to gain the necessary flavor, it is insisted for at least six years. Another type of drink - Tequila "South" Gold Extra - a classic taste, with a special note. This drink lasts two years in oak (and no other) barrels, which directly affects its taste. And, finally, "Sousa" Hornitos Reposado, the exposure is not less than a year. One series seems to continue the other with a slightly noticeable discrepancy in the aftertaste.
Tequila can be used in different ways. There is a whole rite of how to drink a drink in order to fully experience the beauty of a fragrant bouquet. However, there are also types of tequila that are used for making cocktails.
For example, the tequila "Southern Silver" -a crystal-clear drink, with a soft, balanced taste that perfectly matches with any other shades. Apples and jasmine, citrus notes, pepper, spices - all this can be felt when mixing several types of alcohol. Also tequila "Silver" is accepted to serve as an aperitif. Mixing so many tastes has a beneficial effect on appetite, and also does not interrupt served meals. This is important for an aperitic drink. By the way, if you try several different brands of tequila, it is "Silver" that will differ fresh and bracing taste, while any other - more dense, heavy and saturated.
"Sauza" tequila gave rise to many myths thatwith pleasure passed from word of mouth. The most common is that the drink is made from cactus. The basis of tequila is the fruits of blue agave, more like big pineapples, but not cacti.
By the way, agave in the world has more than 300 species, but this drink is exclusively blue.
The next myth that tequila is easy to prepare at home. Nothing like this, before you make a drink, you look after the agave for at least 8 years, in a certain way. The biggest misconception is that there is no hangover from tequila. As with any alcohol, you should know the measure. Fusel oils in the drink are also present, but the taste is so harmonious that it is almost impossible to feel them. Therefore, with excessive use of tequila, a hangover is bound to be. Yes, and one can not help remembering one more thing: in a bottle with tequila there must be a caterpillar traced. Mexicans do not do that. This counter, invented by the Americans, was launched as an advertisement.
Strangely enough, but the view that tequila should drinkonly with lemon (lime) and salt, wrong. For today, there are six ways to properly consume an alcoholic beverage. Each is designed precisely to emphasize the taste of tequila, shading its special aspects. For example, tequila "South Gold" it is better to drink not with salt and lemon, but withan orange slice and cinnamon. For fans of thrills: tequila can be mixed with beer - 33 grams of tequila for 330 beers (only light). Orange liqueur, lemon juice, ice and tequila - you get the famous cocktail "Margarita". For a cheerful mood it is better to prepare "Tequila-Boom" - strongly water and tequila "South" silver. "Sangrita" and "Banderita" is practically the famous "Bloody Mary", but with the addition of other ingredients - oranges, lemons, onions, peppers, sugar, salt, tomato. Naturally, the juices are poured in layers, this allows the drink to look spectacular.
How much does the "South" tequila cost? The price can differ only slightly. This elite drink has never been considered cheap, it is worth remembering that a real branded brand will not cost several hundred rubles. This is understandable, an environmentally friendly drink made according to traditional recipes, with the sweetness of agave in the aftertaste - quality can not be cheap. The average cost of a bottle is within one thousand rubles.
