tequila. Tequila has two classifications: tequila, and 100 percent agave tequila, which means that tequila can be made using only 51 percent from the agave plant and the rest can be from any sugar sources such as sugar cane or corn, says Eduardo Gomez, director at Mexican food and drink specialists MexGrocer and founder of the UK s Tequila and Mezcal Festival.
