Tequila

Tequila is a distilled Mexican spirit made from the blue agave plant, widely used in cocktails (margaritas, palomas) and enjoyed neat or aged in barrels for reposado and añejo styles. It is essentially a source of alcohol and provides 231kcal per 100g with virtually no protein, fat, carbohydrates or fiber, so it contributes calories without notable nutrients. Because it supplies minimal vitamins or minerals, it’s best consumed sparingly and substituted with lower‑alcohol or nonalcoholic options when trying to reduce empty calories or alcohol intake.
