What if every shot of tequila carried 3,000 years of culture, survival, and resistance?

In this episode of The Mysteries of Latin America, Andrew uncovers the hidden story of tequila—from sacred Indigenous origins and pulque rituals to Spanish conquest and cultural mestizaje.

You'll meet the Chichimecas, Otomíes, Nahuas, and Mexica. Learn how agave was more than a plant—it was a survival tool, a spiritual symbol, and a gift from the goddess Mayahuel.

From colonial-era tabernas to the rise of Sauza, Cuervo, and the myth of that infamous worm, this is more than just a drink—it’s a bottled history of Mexico’s heart and fight.

Whether you’re proud of your roots, curious about Indigenous traditions, or just want to know what’s really behind your favorite spirit…

This is your story. In a bottle. ¡Salud!
