More than an acquired taste... it's a lifestyle, amigos 😉
P.S. And the taste is great. You just have to drink the real one, not the crap you buy in stores. Go to Guadalajara, Mexico.

Hornitos is one of my preferred brands. An ex-girlfriend turned me onto it. Now I'm drinking El Jimador.

As typical as Mexicans are, when the tequila boom exploded worldwide the stupid producers used all the blue agave (the only real one for real tequila) without planning more, so there is a gap between the shortage and the new harvest (which takes years to be ready)... so with El Jimador you have the funny thing that they used to have a tag saying "100% blue agave" and, all of a sudden, their bottles say now "Double Distilation" or something like that, because it is illegal to say "100% blue agave" if it is not really 100% (and the National Council of Tequila certifies it.
So be careful with that, not only you may be drinking crap, but also stuff that will make your hangover a nightmare.
Real tequila, 100% blue agave, is the purest thing you can ever drink in this whole wide world. And it tastes like a slice of heaven.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulque
"In the Aztec pantheon of deities, pulque production was represented by the god of pulque, Tepoztecatl, and the gods of drunkenness, such as Macuil-Tochtli or Five Rabbit and Ometochtli or Two Rabbit, both part of the pantheon of Centzon Totochtin, the four hundred rabbit gods of drunkenness. The Aztecs rated pulque intoxication on a scale of one to 400 rabbits. A tradition in pulquerias is for drinkers to slop a small amount of the pulque in their glass on the floor as a sacrifice to Two Rabbit.
