National Tequila Day 24th July:
Happy National Tequila Day. Fancy a tipple later? Tequila is typically consumed neat, as a shot or sipped slowly, but it is also used as a mixer in a variety of cocktails, such as margaritas and tequila sunrises. One of my favourite drinks when I go on holiday.
So what is Tequila made from? The blue agave plant, which is mostly grown in the area around Tequila, in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, is used to make tequila, a distilled alcohol. Although many high-end tequilas are manufactured with 100% blue agave, the spirit must be made with at least 51% blue agave to be considered tequila.
The blue agave plants, which can take up to 10 years to reach maturity, are harvested and then roasted in an oven to transform the complex carbs into simple sugars. The crushed, fermented, and distilled juice of the crushed, roasted agave is used to make tequila.

Or maybe start the day with a slice of toast with Tangerine And Tequila Marmalade? So tasty.
Here is the recipe: Tangerine And Tequila Marmalade. Fancy also making some Tangerine And Tequila Marmalade? Also a tangy, taste-tantalising marmalade to liven up your toast! Tangerine And Tequila Marmalade. So good.
24/07/2017 Creative Mondays And This Weeks Features. It is raining today! Grr, maybe this will also stop us. It is dark and grey outside. Typical!! We are going to have to change our walking plans unless it rains itself out by the time the children get up!?
