As the sun sets on a warm day, there’s nothing quite like the refreshing combination of tequila and pineapple to transport you to a tropical paradise.
Tequila, crafted from the agave plant, has a rich history rooted in the heart of Mexico. Originally produced in the Jalisco region, tequila has evolved from a traditional sipper to a versatile tequila cocktail base.
Its distinct flavors, ranging from the earthy notes of blanco to the oak-aged richness of añejo, make it a perfect partner for a variety of mixers, including the bright and tropical pineapple.
