Why do they say that Taquila comes with a worm in it?!
Why do they say that Taquila comes with a worm in it?
Is this true? If not, What type of drink comes with a worm?
Answers:
Full bodied tequila does not have the worm. At least I have never seen one with it.
Mescal or mezcal. Mescal, is most famous for its maguey worm which is included in the bottle to indicate quality control. Mescal does not have the high alcohol content that tequila has. Say tequila is 90 proof. Mescal is 30-35 proof.
The maguey worm is eatable, and comes from the plant used to make mescal with.
Personally, I don't like the flavor of mescal.
Most is sold to tourists thinking they have bought tequila with a worm in the bottle. It is tequila but kinda funky in taste.

Technically, it's not tequila--it's mezcal. Here's a link: http://www.mezcal.com/worms.html...
It is Mezcal that has the worm. The worm is from the Blue Agave Catcus, which is used to make Mezcal and Tequila.
Also, if you eat the worm, you will get pretty messed up!!!
It does come with a worm, well most good bottles do. Tequila Gold has it, If you eat the worm you are going to get f!@#$% up! The worm soaks alot of alcohol. I love Tequila, enjoy!
SOME TEQUILA COMES WITH A WORM. THE WORM IS REALLY AN CATERPILLAR THAT IS FOUND AROUND AGAVE PLANTS.
Some older brands of tequila does have a worm. In actual fact, all tequilas are mezcal. They're originally mezcal wine from the tequila region in Mexico. in 1950, Mexico City entrepreneur Jacobo Lozano Paez hit on the idea of putting a worm in each bottle as a marketing gimmick.

No only some
Mezcal has the agave worm in each bottle.

Only Mezcal comes with the worm. Its a common misconception tequila does. Mezcal and tequila come from different parts of Mexico. Sort of like bourbon and whiskey in America
Some still do in Mexico, but not here I don't think.
