July 24th, 2025 is National Tequila Day

National Tequila Day

Celebrating North America's first indigenous distilled spirit, today is National Tequila Day. Spanish conquistadors near the town of Tequila, Mexico, adapted the recipe for the drink they generically called 'tequila' from an Aztec fermented beverage that similarly used the agave plant.

It is unclear who invented the lime, the salt, or the headache.
