Many folks are confused about Tequiza. They think it's a
beer. And why not? It's got beer in it!
Tequiza, it must always be remembered, is a
mixed drink in a bottle. No doubt there are many
hard-core beer fans who don't like it, but I think it's because they are approaching it incorrectly. You also have to factor in the
cool factor in "hating
girly drinks". It's much more
manly to like a "
pure" beer.
Tequiza is a sweet drink, a beer mixed with
syrup ostensibly made from the
blue agave plant, the same plant used to make
tequila. When you drink it, a subtle hint of tequla
flavor does come across. But it's not tequila flavor, it's
agave.
