3. Tokyo is where sake lives

Japan’s traditional beverage, sake, should be savoured among the neon glazed signs and beaming sidewalks of Tokyo. The city itself is one gigantic, overwhelming work of post-postmodern art.

5. Mexico City is where tequila lives

Mexico City is a bustling metropolis with a very idiosyncratic atmosphere and rhythm. Of course, many tourists cannot wait to visit Frida Kahlo’s house.

This legendary drink is made from the blue agave plant and it is distilled in order to get that very distinct smell, taste and texture. Served with lemon and salt, it is, by far, one of the ‘healthiest’ spirits out there. It is known that it helps with digestion and stomach cramps, and a twist of lemon always brings a welcoming influx of vitamin C. Of course, just as anything else, it is healthy when consumed in moderation.
