Look to this blog regarding: Tequilla and how to drink it in playa del carmen
Welcome expats and future expats to sunny Playa del Carmen! As you plan your move to this vibrant city, there are a few things you should know - most importantly, how to drink tequila like a local.
Tequila is not simply a drink in Mexico, it is a way of life. As you might imagine, there is a stark contrast between the tequila culture in Mexico and in North America. While many of us are used to taking shots of tequila in our 20s and regretting it the next day, here in Playa del Carmen, tequila is enjoyed in a more relaxed and sophisticated manner.
So, how do you drink tequila like a local? First, let's talk about the basics. Tequila is made from the blue agave plant and can only be produced in specific regions in Mexico, with Jalisco being the most well-known. And just like wine, there are different types and qualities of tequila - so don't be afraid to ask your local tequila expert for recommendations.
Now, onto the proper way to enjoy this iconic Mexican spirit. Step one: leave the salt and lime at home. In Mexico, we don't use these as a chaser, instead we sip tequila straight. And trust me, when you try a high-quality tequila like Tequila Gringo, you won't need any salt or lime to mask the taste.
Next, let's talk about the right glassware. A small, tall shot glass is not going to cut it. In Mexico, tequila is enjoyed in a small, wide glass called a caballito. This allows you to truly appreciate the aroma and taste of the tequila.
Now, onto the fun part - how to drink tequila like a local. First, take a deep breath and calmly sip your tequila. Yes, we sip, not shoot. As the tequila moves around in your mouth, you'll start to appreciate the different flavors and undertones. Once you've taken your first sip, take a moment to savor it before taking another.
And don't feel like you have to down a whole glass in one sitting. In Mexico, it is common to sip tequila throughout a meal or in the company of friends, so pace yourself and enjoy the experience.
Now, you may be wondering where to find the best tequila in Playa del Carmen. Look no further than Tequila Gringo. Not only do they offer top-notch tequila, but they also provide a cultural experience through their tours and tastings. Plus, their locally-owned and operated business supports the community and gives back to those in need. So, it's a win-win.
And if tequila is not your cup of tea (or shot of tequila), don't worry. Playa del Carmen has no shortage of adult distractions, from beach clubs to rooftop bars, to keep you entertained.
So, embrace the tequila culture, sip like a local, and don't forget to visit Tequila Gringo to enhance your Playa del Carmen experience. Salud! For more information, visit www.tgringo.com.
