Did you hear? Tomorrow is National Tequila Day, and we can’t wait to celebrate! One of our signature choices, tequila is something we celebrate everyday here at Macayo’s – our Scottsdale and Shea location even has a tequila bar! To ring in the holiday, here are a few little-known facts about one of our favorite alcoholic beverages:

• Every year, more than 300 million blue agave plants are harvested in the production of tequila
• The flavors of the blue agave plant and the agave plant are a little bit different
• There are many different types of tequila, and they are categorized by how long they’ve been aged
• The perfect size for tasting tequila is half an ounce
• You can make small artificial diamonds out of tequila, which are often used in electronics
• Tequila can only be titled “tequila” when it is from the blue agave plant and made in Jalisco, Mexico
• George Clooney is one of the co-owners of Casamigos tequila

Not interested in celebrating National Tequila Day just sipping tequila by itself?
