Tequila, made from blue agave in the Jalisco region, ranges from unaged blanco through reposado and añejo to extra añejo. Premium tequilas are sipped like fine whisky. Mezcal, produced primarily in Oaxaca, offers more varied and often smoky flavors from different agave varieties.
Mexican beer is widely available, from mainstream brands like Corona and Modelo to craft breweries emerging in cities like Mexico City, Tijuana, and Ensenada. Micheladas (beer with lime, salt, and various seasonings) are popular throughout the country.
Wine production in the Valle de Guadalupe in Baja California has gained international recognition. Tours of this region offer tastings at boutique wineries. Pulque, a fermented agave beverage predating tequila, is experiencing a revival in trendy bars in major cities.
