Tequila and I have always gotten along."

  • "Tequila often gave people the desire to tackle the impossible."

    — Darynda Jones

  • "I'm the Cool One," she told herself. "Somebody give me some tequila because I'll totally drink it. Who wants to French-kiss?"

    Rainbow Rowell (Fangirl)

  • "I was in Mexico, in a disappearing-edge swimming pool, on a bar stool that was actually under the water...drinking coconut, lime, and tequila from a scooped-out pineapple, with salt spray of breaking surf and sun kissing my skin. Translation: I'd died and gone to heaven."

Mezcal

Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey. Mezcal is defined as any agave based spirit. This includes tequila, which is made in specific regions of Mexico and must be made from only blue agave (agave tequilana), whereas Mezcal can be made from a wide variety of agave.
