特斯拉将这款龙舌兰酒描述为独家、小批量优质酒，100%采用龙舌兰酿造，在法国橡木桶中陈酿15个月，灌入手工吹制的玻璃瓶中，散发干果和淡淡香草味，还有恰到好处的肉桂胡椒味。其代工厂为一个名叫“Nosotros”的龙舌兰品牌——但是，Nosotros自己的陈年龙舌兰一瓶才卖50多美元。而装入特斯拉闪电形状的玻璃酒瓶后，这瓶容量为750毫升的龙舌兰酒，售价就提升了5倍，高达250美元(约合人民币1657元)，比一瓶飞天茅台的官方价格还要高。
据了解，这款龙舌兰酒将在2020年末开始交付，目前仅在美国地区出售，购买者必须年满21岁，并且被限购两瓶。尽管限购，但特斯拉新龙舌蘭酒的火爆程度超出了预期。上架后几小时，这款酒就销售一空。更疯狂的是，其空瓶竟然在二手交易网站eBay上卖出美元的天价。
无独有偶，北京时间11月19日，根据美媒lakersdaily报道，詹姆斯、浓眉哥和德雷蒙德·格林联手了，他们不是在球场联手，而是联合投资了一家名为Lobos 1707的龙舌兰酒公司。“我第一次品尝到Lobos 1707 dragon tongue liquor felt very special. When I further understand the brand story and the leadership team, I know I want to be a part of it. I like drinking dragon tongue liquor with friends, we hope to have a brand that can communicate.”
这个令老外心心念念的 dragon tongue liquor到底是一个神秘东西？!! Dragon tongue liquor…… seems Mr. Lu Xun once mentioned it? In Beijing, white cabbage is transported from Beijing to Zhejiang, tied with red rope around the vegetable roots, hanging upside down from fruit shops' heads, respected as "cabbage". Wild agave in Fujian becomes a delicacy when brought into greenhouses in Beijing.
So this is just agave juice made? It's not that simple actually. Calling this mysterious drink dragon tongue liquor is not only for its sound but also to avoid confusion. Although the plant used for making dragon tongue liquor and agave are of the same category at first glance, they are not exactly the same thing.
Domestically, commonly used for ornamental purposes or skincare is Agave americana variegata - one of China's most popular succulent plants. The peculiarities of blue agave lie in its size - these Mexican native varieties can grow up to human height without any effort.
More peculiarly still are these blue agaves employed for crafting our beloved tequila; their bulbous base (known locally as piña) resembles pineapple but weighs much more than any regular pineapple after removing leaves and roots weighing between 70-110 kg during harvests using specialized knives meant specifically for such tasks.
The raw material behind this tequila production truly defies imagination compared with other spirits worldwide where fermentation processes may differ significantly while distillation methods remain largely consistent across all types except perhaps mezcal produced by some crafty manufacturers who add an unexpected ingredient – worms living alongside cactus plants!
These days' meaningfully defined Tequilas formed roughly three or four hundred years ago yet indigenous people had discovered their potential long before then; however back then no one knew about distillation so they could only produce Pulque-like brews instead!
