How do you open a Mexican tequila bottle?

Answered by Christopher Steppe

To open a Mexican bottle, you'll need to remove the stopper that has plastic tabs securing it. There are a few methods you can use to accomplish this task. One option is to use a knife, while another is to use a pair of scissors.

If you choose to use a knife, it's important to exercise caution and be mindful of safety. Start by selecting a knife with a sharp blade. Hold the tequila bottle firmly in one hand, making sure to keep it steady and secure. Take the knife and insert it into one of the plastic tabs around the border of the stopper.

With a gentle but firm motion, slice through the tab. Repeat this process for each tab, working your way around the stopper. It may require a bit of patience and precision, but eventually, all the seals will be released. Once you have cut through all the tabs, you can remove the stopper from the bottle.

Alternatively, if you don't have a knife or prefer not to use one, you can also use a pair of scissors. Simply insert the blade of the scissors into a tab and cut through it. Continue doing this for each tab until all the seals have been released. Once the tabs are cut, you can remove the stopper from the bottle.

It's worth noting that some tequila bottles may have different types of stoppers, such as cork or plastic screw caps. The method described above specifically applies to tequila bottles with plastic tab seals. If you encounter a different type of stopper, you'll need to adjust your approach accordingly.

Opening a Mexican tequila bottle can be an exciting experience, especially if you're about to enjoy a fine tequila. Remember to handle the bottle with care and be mindful of any sharp objects you may be using. Taking your time and using the appropriate tools will ensure a successful and enjoyable opening process.
