When it comes to signature cocktails for a wedding, many couples are opting for tequila-based drinks.

First, let’s get to know Tequila and its interesting history.
A Short History of Tequila
The history of Tequila is a long and storied one, dating back to the 16th century. Legend has it that the drink was first created by a man named Don Pedro Sanches de Coronado. According to the legend, de Coronado was traveling through the Mexican state of Jalisco when he came across some wild agave plants. He was so taken by the plants that he decided to try and make a drink out of them.

The first batch of tequila was apparently made in 1530, and it quickly became a popular drink among the locals. By the early 1600s, commercial production of tequila had begun, and the drink was being exported to other parts of Mexico and Central America. In the late 1800s, tequila began to gain popularity in the United States, and it has been a popular drink ever since.
Tequila is made from the blue agave plant, which is native to the Mexican state of Jalisco.
The plants are harvested and then cooked in order to extract the juice. The juice is then fermented and distilled to create the finished product. Tequila can be either clear or gold in color, and it ranges in strength from 35% to 55% alcohol by volume.
There are several different types of tequila, including blanco, reposado, and añejo. Blanco, or white tequila, is the most common type and is typically unaged. Reposado, or rested tequila, is aged for two to twelve months in oak barrels. Añejo, or aged tequila, is aged for at least one year in oak barrels.
Tequila is traditionally served in a small glass called a caballito. It can also be served on the rocks or with a mixer. Popular tequila-based cocktails include the Margarita, the Paloma, and the Tecate.
If you’re looking to try something new, give tequila a shot. It’s a delicious and versatile drink that is sure to please. Perfect for your wedding!
