For a unique twist on the margarita try a tequila Mojita. A mojito is a classic cocktail made with rum. However, it's made with tequila, fresh mint, and not rum.

Xochitl is fresh and unaged, and can be bottled in two months.
There are dozens of tequilas, but the most popular type is Xochitl, an unaged tequila from the Highland region of Mexico. This particular type is only bottled after the agave plant harvest. The process begins with a distillation. The first distillation run begins with a worm being immersed in cold water. This causes the alcohol vapor condense. This is ordinario, the distillate. It runs down a pipe to a storage tank. The second fermentation is only a few more days. After that, the first and final portions of the distillate can be discarded. This is because the first- and last portions contain undesirable aldehydes or congeners. Smaller businesses are more likely to use tequila.
