THE MYTH:


THE TRUTH:

Real Mexicans only drink gold-colored tequila! Gold tequila is mostly produced for the American marketplace. You hardly ever hear a Mexican use the word "oro" to order tequila. Joven abocado gold("youthful but mellowed") is the second of the four legal classifications (referred to in Myth #8). Unfortunately, gold tequila is often nothing more than plata made to look golden via caramel coloring.
