The history of tequila began with the Aztec people making a fermented beverage from the agave plant which they called octli (later and more popularly called pulque).

Tequila is a distilled spirit that is produced only in Mexico, and only then in the region of Tequila.

For those looking for a quick fix of a winter evening, it may help to know that there is a National Margarita Day.

The taste of agave nectar is comparable, though not identical, to honey. Many people who do not like the taste of honey find agave a more palatable choice.

Agaves are one of my prime choices when selecting plants for gardens, containers or landscapes.
