Before you decide whether we want to retire to Margaritaville, we must ask, where in the world is Margaritaville? Where exactly was Jimmy Buffett, as he is wasted, Searchin ‘for that lost shaker of salt? He is probably in Mexico, because he is a new tattoo is a true treasure and the beauty of Mexico! This is certainly a nice place in Mexico, because even though he did not know the reason, he stayed there the whole season!
To determine where Margaritaville is, let’s get the main ingredient of margaritas, tequila, of course, be taken into account. Tequila is made of blue agave in steam-heated oven, and after he cured in wooden barrels, a process which, since its inception in the late 19th Century distilled improved. It existed before the oven for distilling tequila, mezcal is made from agave plants, and has for over 1000 years. Tequila was first produced shortly after the Spanish conquest in 1521 and later became the first spirits in North America, and the first commercially produced alcohol. Mezcal is now in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca and other areas throughout Mexico. It is made from a distillation process of a number of different agave plants other than blue agave, and is still widely used. It’s really not as bad as it often is cheaper than mineral water!
Now we know the roots of tequila, you can review the history of the agave. Archeological records trace the use of agave fibers or hemp and agave food for more than 10,000 years to a region located in the Mexican state of Jalisco. Valley between Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta, known as the Tequila Valley, is strong with volcanic rock, ash and obsidian calculated. As you can imagine, is the name of a large city in this valley of Tequila, Mexico. Apparently, most food crops are not as good as this site, but the blue agave grown in the fertile volcanic soil. Almost 100% of the tequila in the world comes from the Mexican states of Jalisco and approximately 65% of them originate from the arid valley near the town of Tequila. Mexican law states that for each drink are classified as tequila, it at least 51% of the blue agave must contain the state of Jalisco.
In recent generations, the popularity of tequila to drink “under the bridge” among the most expensive spirits are removed on the market today.
Okay, knowing that tequila is produced outside Puerto Vallarta, in Jalisco state, we next need to keep the ingredients in a margarita balance. In addition to the Triple Sec, an orange liquid from Curacao in the Caribbean, from the rest of the margarita ingredients from fruits and fruit juices. Orange juice, strawberries, peaches, mangoes, bananas, melons, tropical fruits, and all other kinds are used to bad tequila will get! Of course, all tropical fruits grown in the valleys around Puerto Vallarta with limes so abundant that the street vendors almost give away.
Now we understand that almost all the margarita ingredients come from the area around Puerto Vallarta, it only makes sense that the tourists while visiting Vallarta, local products, including everything from sunrise to Slammers that breathing cold margaritas enjoy synonym Enjoy in Vallarta, and thereby the local economy. Of course there are more margaritas consumed per capita in Vallarta than any other city in the world. They are so refreshing and so delicious, that PV probably one of the most active AA groups south of the border!
Aside from the fact appears on the labels of the bottles almost all brands of tequila blue agave emblem is frequently seen in logos of local businesses, and for some a symbol of Mexico, a flag that is recognized around the world. For example, in 2006, $ 1,600,000 of the Champions Tour Puerto Vallarta Blue Agave Classic golf tournament held in the city.
Finally, picture this: you are totally relaxed without a care in the world, lying on beach chairs watching the Pacific Ocean, sipping margaritas under sunny skies at 78 * F day in February. Perhaps you’ve found Margaritaville, life is not always good!
Thus the question remains, Jimmy Buffett in Puerto Vallarta when he lost his salt shaker? Obviously he has not, or will he still be here in paradise enjoying “la dolce vida”. Because we do not know exactly where Margaritaville, we can not recommend retiring to Margaritaville, but you really should at least consider pull connection with 50,000 other North Americans in Puerto Vallarta, where the weather is perfect, beautiful people, and enjoy the sounds never on.
