Are you Up for a Tequila Shot!
I am damn sure that every topper out there would probably had their first sip of tequila clung to the three classic steps of drinking it. Yes this is the most fun part of tequila shot; Lick, Shoot, Suck. You would first lick the salt, shoot the tequila, suck the lemons thus make the entire gimmick complete. Tequilas on books are no different than other liquors but once you have gone for it they add the extra pinch to your crazy mood and unleash your madness.
Tequilas are tequilas if they are gaffed up from the Weber Blue Agave of Mexico. Agave plants are dredged up from mud to reveal the heart of the plant “Pinna”. This white bulb part creates the magic in the liquor preparation. One should hurry up to uproot the young plant to grab the maximum amount of sugar content of the fruit. Zooming into the chemistry behind the brewing process the macro sugars carbohydrates and starch treasured in the plant body are fermented to buy out tequila. Guess what the final taste of the drink depends primarily on the origin of agave; the original tequilas obtained from blue agave are labeled 100% Agave and are certified to the standards by Tequila Regulation Council.
Putting in order the gestation stages of tequila manufacturing is highly labor intensive which makes the liquor extra special and deserves a lot more attention. There are clear cut ways and means said and done to get hold of the antique tequila. The process kicks off by baking the agave pinna (white bulb part) that strings out to 2–3 days to bring them down to caramelized dark brown, mushy honeycomb. Now it’s time to release the juices from the agave fibers using large bulky crushers. These sweet sugary filtrates are now mixed with water and yeast and stacked up in tanks. The tiny yeast add-ons act as the ring masters which ferments the sugars to alcohol. Remember for a lively robust tequila make the yeast happy for 2–3 days with good music. This merry liquid now contains 4–10% alcohol whereas screw it up to 55% which is very possible in 2–4 distillations. The ripen broth is tuned in flame to give off alcohol vapors which are then calmed and condensed into a flask. The blithe drops collected ensure 40% alcohol which are then in the saddle for barreling or bottling. Barreling in Sherry casks, white or French oak gives the absolute color and crowning oaky flavor to the bustling drink. The flashy Tequila bottles also have a fan base for its unique shape & design but bethink it differs between brands.
Trust it guys it’s worth the wait to enjoy the 100% agave tequila after all these arduous efforts. No worries on getting a false one, all tequilas reaching your hands are screened on spot by the Tequila Regulatory council to meet the authentic standards. Shoo away your second thoughts guys rejoice with tequila shot. If life gives you lemons, party it with tequila! Cheers.
