Agave tequila is a Mexican strong distillate of the fermented juice of the hearts of blue agave, clear (blanco) or golden-amber after oak ageing (reposado, añejo), with a characteristic vegetal-peppery taste of baked agave, citrus notes and a light sweetness. It is drunk neat with salt and lime, in cocktails (margarita, Paloma, tequila sunrise) and used in marinades and sauces.
