How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh oranges
- To ensure the drink retains its original flavor, you should choose either Egyptian yellow oranges or Australian oranges.
- Good oranges will still have their stems; when touched, the stems should feel sticky and hard to break off with your fingers.
- Choose oranges with fresh skin, smooth and shiny when touched, and when lightly squeezed, essential oils should be released.
- Select oranges that are evenly round, feel firm in hand, and have a yellow bottom. Additionally, pay attention to the stem end; if it is indented compared to the surrounding surface, that indicates a juicy orange.
- Do not choose oranges with soft, wrinkled skin and dark brown blemishes, as these are usually not fresh and show signs of spoilage.
What is Tequila?
- Tequila – pronounced as te-kee-lah, is a traditional liquor originating from Mexico. The name of the liquor comes from the place where it is produced, which is the Tequila region in Jalisco state on the western plateau of Mexico.
