Tequila's bold flavor is a double-edged sword, respected by some and feared by others. The common ritual of consuming tequila with salt and lime serves to ease its intense taste. This practice has historical roots, possibly introduced as a remedy during the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. Despite the benefits of this ritual, tequila connoisseurs argue against it, believing that true appreciation lies in savoring the spirit without distractions. In Mexico, where high-quality tequila is made, consumers avoid the additives to fully taste the spirit's complexity.
The lick, drink, and bite trick does have a magical way of removing the burn that tequila so commonly delivers, but fans of the alcohol's complexity argue that's all part of its depth.
The trio of tequila, salt, and lime work in perfect harmony, but it wasn't always just about taste (or masking it). Tequila and its trusty sidekicks doctor's may have originally been doctor's orders.
