Tequila Day

24 July

The 24th of July is Tequila Day.

It celebrates one of Mexico’s many well-known culinary contributions to the world, the alcohol called “tequila“.

Have you ever had a very good aged tequila that you can savour straight up, like a fine whiskey? Or have you only ever hard the firewater rot-gut that we all first encountered in our youths?

What is your favourite tequila-based cocktail?

What about the worm in the tequila bottles? Will you eat that, or leave it for someone else?

Do you like yours with lime and salt?

Have you ever had the occasion to associate tequila with an evening you have later, ahem, regretted?

Remember if you celebrate today, no drinking and driving!

History

In the 1970s and 1980s, a “National Tequila Day” was held in Logan, Utah in October. [1] Lucero, Sam. Students prepare for Tequila Day. Logan, Utah: The Utah Statesman. Friday, 30 October 1981. Page 10, col. 3.

The first print mention that CooksInfo is aware of for a 24th of July date occurred in 2004 in Kentucky:

“July 26, Amelia Earhart Day. Fortunately, for people still trying to find her, it’s also National Tequila Day.” — Heckel, Dan. July offers almost everyone something to celebate. Owensboro, Kentucky: Messenger-Inquirer. Monday, 28 June 2004. Page 3B, col. 1.
