Gringos Drink Tequila

Laura and "Mart" came down to see us while we were in Mexico. We took them to the Corralejos Tequila plant just like any good hosts would. I have to say this was probably Sofi and Ofelia's least favorite part of Mexico... for now.



We translated the tour for los gringos.


Mike explained the bennefits of agave to a very curious Ofelia.

These guys are cutting the pinas into pieces before they get roasted in the ovens behind all the green machinery.

Mark showing how big the pinas are when they get to the factory.

Group shot. Quick tequila lesson: the "fruit" in the pic above is roasted and squeezed. Our guide asked one of the workers to grab a couple pieces from the oven so we could taste it. It's really sweet. When we were done sucking on the baked goodness (see Mark's piece in pic below) we were told just to throw it back into the oven.

We figured out that if we took pictures of Sofi, she stayed somewhat entertained.

You can rent out the facility for weddings and anniversaries. Hmmm.
