Lolita's Menus![]() Tequila
Tequila is the oldest distilled spirit in the Americas. Currently, tequila is undergoing a transformation, from a drink of choice among rowdy vacationers, to a sophisticated sipping beverage rivaling fine Scotches, Cognacs and Bourbons.
Tequila can only be made from the "Weber Blue Agave" grown in specific regions of Jalisco, Mexico. Tequila undergoes a double distillation process, and then bottled or aged from one to seven years. Mexican law stipulates that tequila must contain at least 51% blue agave. Most premium, high value brands use 100% agave and are considered sipping liquours. Various types: Silver or Blanco: fresh, clean, unaged Gold: caramel added for sweet, smooth flavour Reposado: rested in wooden barrels for 2-12 months and is mellow enough not to lose the fresh spiritness of the silver Anejo: aged in oak barrels for over a year, the aging leaves the tequila smooth and oaky with a warm amber hue Tequila
