Tequila was the first “American spirit” distilled in the Americas. In the 16th century, Spanish conquistadores—who apparently ran out of their own brandy—decided to improve upon a beverage that the local Aztecs made from the blue agave cactus named octli…and that, my friends, was the birth of our beloved Mexican tequila! This noble determination for excellence continues at Manuel’s, in our quest to offer the finest original margaritas, specialty cocktails, wine, and sipping tequilas…Viva la bebida! Don’t forget to join us for daily drink specials from 4-6pm at Manuel’s Downtown and Manuel’s Arboretum.
