Officially, tequila must be produced in one of five Mexican states (Jalisco, Michoacán, Guanajuato, Nayarit or Tamaulipas) from the blue agave plant. Though any spirit made with at least 51% blue agave is considered tequila, the best tequilas are 100% blue agave. Want to know for sure if your tequila is legit? Look for the “NOM” – or Norma Official Mexicana – on the bottle. This number (assigned by the Mexican government) certifies that it’s authentic Mexican-made tequila.
