National Tequila Day is a holiday celebrated annually in the United States on the second Saturday of July. It is a day to celebrate the Mexican spirit, tequila, and its many delicious variations. Tequila is a distilled spirit made from the blue agave plant and is produced in Mexico. It is typically bottled at 80 proof (40% alcohol by volume), but can also be found at higher or lower proofs.
National Tequila Day was first celebrated in 2009 and has since become a popular holiday for tequila lovers around the country. On this day, bars and restaurants often offer specials on tequila drinks and food, and there are often parties and events held to celebrate the holiday.
