Dos Artes Limited Edition Skull Blanco Tequila

Tequila is a distilled alcoholic beverage made primarily from the blue agave plant in Mexico. Its origins can be traced back to a beverage called pulque, produced in Central America before the region was colonized by Spain in the 16th Century. Tequila started to gain prominence after Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821. By the early 20th Century, the drink was associated with the Mexican revolution and symbolic of the new nation. A taste for Tequila developed in the United States during World War II, when European spirits were difficult to obtain and Tequila was readily available.
