tequila

This term refers specifically to a spirit derived from the blue agave plant. While often grouped with other agave spirits, it is legally protected by a designation of origin, meaning it can only be produced in specific regions of Mexico to be labeled as such. As a mass noun, it typically functions as an uncountable substance. When used in a countable sense, it refers to a specific serving, such as a shot or a bottle, though the substance itself remains uncountable.
