If you like to relax and spend the evening before the weekend in a noisy company, then you will almost certainly have to drink some alcohol. In order not to get into an unpleasant situation, after which it will be painfully ashamed, it is necessary to observe the measure and have an idea about the culture of drinking alcoholic beverages, especially strong ones. Any alcohol has its own history and rules of use, which would be very good to know and follow.

Recently, tequila has been popular in Russia. Its homeland is distant and hot Mexico. At the base - squeeze from the core of the agave, tart and very strong. Despite being widely known, few people know how to drink tequila correctly. There are many answers to this question.

For example, Mexicans do not follow any traditions at all when drinking this drink. It is poured into local high cups and consumed in one gulp without any special snacks. It is noteworthy that in the homeland of tequila it is not customary to serve it chilled, room temperature is optimal. To make the taste of the drink softer, it is often washed down with a non-alcoholic cocktail called "Sangrita". As part of "Sangrita" juices of tomato, lime and orange are mixed, hot crushed chili peppers are added to them. The last ingredient can be replaced with ordinary pepper and s alt.

Everyone knows how to drink tequila in the classic or international way. This necessarily requires s alt and lemon, in recent years, however, it is often replaced with lime. So, the drinking ritual looks like this.

A few drops of lemon are dripped onto the hand, a little s alt is poured, then it is licked off, they drink tequila in one gulp and eat a citrus slice.

Not everyone follows world standards. For example, how do they drink tequila in Germany? The list of manipulations remains unchanged, but cinnamon is used instead of s alt, and lemon is replaced with orange. Such a change in the appetizer radically changes the taste and softens the bitterness of tequila a little.

If someone wondered how they drink tequila in the bars and restaurants of our country, then they know that traditions are, of course, observed here, but in their own way. The edges of all glasses are moistened and covered with a dense layer of s alt.

As a decorative element, you can add a slice of lemon or just put a few slices on a separate plate nearby.
