Tequila Myth #4 Tequila should always be enjoyed with Salt and Lemon
FALSE: By tradition, preference, or even bad-tasting Tequila’s, Salt and Lemon are optional. All classes of 100% Blue Agave (Blanco/ Platinum /Silver, Reposado, Anejo, and Extra Anejo) are appreciated better if sipped. The Tequila should be at room temperature.
 
Tequila Myth #5 With time, Tequila loses its characteristics and qualities
