The food and drink of any region or nation have a natural connection, as deep as the soil from which they both grow.
French cuisine demands French wine, whether a humble vin de pays or a noble Bordeaux.
Nothing goes better with spicy, hearty Mexican f ood than the aromatic, herb aceous flavors of Tequila, the undisputed national drink of Mexico. Of course, that connection applies to mexican foods even outside of Mexico, which may explain why the tequila-based Margarita is one of the most popular drinks around the world and one of the only drinks to be enjoyed during and after a meal. The cold crispness of a salt-rimmed Margarita, or a citrusy bite of a Tequila Sunrise form a harmonious partnership with classic Mexican dishes from chicken in a complex mole' and red snapper in Vera Cruz sauce or simple tacos, enchiladas and burritos.
