Forget Tequila and go for Mezcal, which is another spirit distilled from agave, but with a different process leading to a smoother, sweetish drink which can be enjoyed like a fine single malt whiskey. The ones to go for (in my opinion) are the reposado (aged for 2 years) or the anejado (aged for up to 7 years in barrels of white oak). Salud!

Forget tequila - the authentic Mexican drink is pulque, a watery alcoholic juice made from fermented maguey. Slightly foamy, with a tinge of aloe vera, it tastes like rinsed shampoo, smells terrible and you would need to consume a lot to get drunk. It is cheap, though ...

Seek out a local pulqueria, a spit-and-sawdust drinking saloon frequented largely by men.
