Tequila,	known	as	the	soul	of	Mexico,	is	primarily	produced	from	the	blue	agave	plant	near	Guadalajara,	Mexico	and	in	the	Jaliscan	Highlands.	This	distilled	beverage	gained	international	popularity following	the	Olympic	Games	hosted	in	Mexico,	and	it	has	continued	to	grow	in	annual	consumption	ever	since.	Enjoyed	on	its	own	or	as	a base	in	cocktails	–	like	a	Tequila	Sunrise,	Bullfighter,	or	Margarita	–	this	liquor	is	the	perfect	year-round	beverage.
