The rising popularity of tequila is reason enough to celebrate.
Thursday, July 24th marks National Tequila Day, and forget everything you know about the beverage. Those nasty old "tequilas" of yesterday were find for doing body shots, but tequila has become something of a luxury spirit while few were paying attention. Have you tried all the varieties of tequila? Can you tell the difference between blanco, joven, reposed, añejo and extra añejo?
If your local bar doesn't have the stuff that will help you celebrate this important holiday, there are several bars that cater just to the tequila fan. There's Aqua Rum and Tequila Bar in the MGM Grand Detroit Casino in Detroit, as well as Rojo Mexican Bistro in Novi, which offers more than 100 kinds of tequila, and Taqo Detroit, a new spot serving American-friendly Mexican fare and serving an astonishing variety of tequilas, more than 200 in all.
Been waiting for a reason to drink up this south-of-the-border nectar? You got it. Guzzle responsibly.
