Tequila & Mezcal

Both Tequila and Mezcal Mexican spirits are distilled from agave. Tequila is made from the agave Tequilana and comes from the vicinity of the site of Santiago de Tequila. Tequila must contain at least 51% agave distillate and the rest is mostly from sugar cane. Tequila is made from high-quality 100% agave distillate. Some Mezcals from the state of Oaxaca include a caterpillar of the moth Hypopta Agavis.
