As we enter the heart of the summer, days get longer and shifts get hotter. It’s around this time that awards are given out to various leaders and icons of our beloved industry.

There are much more important awards to be given out to some much less self-important people.

First there was “ aperitiki.” Then there was the wave of tiki-like bars ditching the genre’s appropriative aspects for other fantasies and fandoms, like outer space and death metal. Now, it seems, we’ve arrived at another popular mashup: agave + tropical. This pairing of spirits and flavors isn’t new; much of Mexico, after all, has a tropical climate.

But, as it turns out, terroir is not exclusive to grapes and wine. Blue Weber Agave, the sole agave variety used to make tequila, is likewise influenced by the soil where it’s grown.
