    El tequila es la categoría de bebidas espirituosas de más rápido crecimiento en Estados Unidos, y una bebida espirituosa agrícola verdaderamente artesanal con un terruño mexicano único y una cultura propia. Según el informe económico anual 2025 del Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS), las ventas de esta popular bebida espirituosa a base de agave crecieron un 2% entre 2023 y 2024, dejando atrás al resto de las botellas.

    Calgary, Alberta took me by surprise on my recent late spring visit, and not just because of the delightful weather. I found iconic drinks and eats, a super walkable downtown, and beautiful historic and contemporary architecture, plus the friendliest and most welcoming citizens. Add in the arts and culture scene–the Calgary Opera, the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, and dozens of museums and galleries, and this thriving Canadian town is definitely worth a visit.

    Tequila is the fastest growing spirits category in the United States, and a truly artisanal agricultural spirit with a unique Mexican terroir and a culture all its own. According to the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States' (DISCUS) 2025 Annual Economic Briefing, sales of the popular agave-based spirit grew by 2 percent from 2023 to 2024, leaving the rest of the bottles in the dust. Yet few of us know how tequila is produced and the rich heritage behind it.

    Some of us remember Mazatlán as a stop for the Pacific Princess cruise ship on the 1970’s era TV show The Love Boat. I recently spent four days there as a guest of Dreams Estrella del Mar Mazatlán Golf & Spa Resort and found so much to love both on and off the property, which opened in April 2024. Stay at Dreams Estrella del Mar Dreams Estrella del Mar sits just 15 minutes from the international airport, which makes arrival (and departure) that much sweeter.

    Americans have always had a passion for margaritas. Most recently, in perhaps the ultimate nod to our nation’s love for agave and lime, the Lifetime Network debuted a “holiday” movie collab with Chili’s entitled I’ll Be Home for National Margarita Day. An espresso martini mini-series is sure to follow.
