When is National Tequila Day Celebrated?

Brief History of National Tequila Day
Tequila is a drink with an ancient history; It comes from western Mexico, specifically from a region called under the same name, “Tequila”. All the tequila in the world is produced in this region!
According to the legend, this drink originated in pre-hispanic times, when lightning struck a field of agaves, causing a fire that consequently heated these plants and made them release their honey, which, when fermented, can produce this drink. The natives considered this a gift from their gods.
Although the certainty of this legend cannot be confirmed, it is known that the manufacture of tequila became popular during the Spanish conquest.
We are sure this drink has become emblematic not only in Mexico but worldwide and gives us company in the best moments. We tell you how to celebrate this day with your friends and family.
